@Joshua - I am thinking about moving to France. Tell me if it's worth moving
I want to learn French to be able to come to France for work
Born French language and born English language 🤳 also needed Citizenship Card from decades 🤳 or centuries 🤳 √
Hmmm i think the Indians benefit more in France than other nationals.
Hi sir how are you can you share with me that is Marseille good place for study and live and is France worth it to move their
Hey Joshua, what's your opinion on the tax rate here in France compared to the slabs we have in India, considering our Masters Program can get us a 5 year work visa?
Vous pouvez faire un vidéo en français ?
Je suis une femme de mars et je ne pratique pas l'hypnose.
What would you suggest Mba from Paris school of business or MiM from kedge business school or neither
Hey I came across your Video, hope you have been doing . Actually I am planning to pursue a Masters in Human Resources next year, Is France a good country to study and then later find a good job? I do have 3 years experience including internships, traineeship & worked as a full time employee. Since you have been in France can you let me know the job market scenario, also should I opt for MIM or MSC in HRM.

ماشاءاللہ کمال است
You are so cute. I would also add that it cost me so much money, time and energy to build a commuity in France. A community that I don't always understand but it's part of the package.
Why did you deactivate your Instagram? :(
I am planning to learn French soon, kindly let know if it's worth it and can it improve my chances of getting a job in france from India? Please suggest
Great video Josh 💪🏾👏🏾
Hey Joshua, are you on Instagram?
Hey Joshua, are you on Instagram?
Can you please provide more information about the farm that you worked at, I am looking to improve my french as well.
networking is hard and I'm getting tired . How and where should i start
Awesome video as always, Joshua... Stay successful
Insightful video. You’ve earned a subscriber! :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Going on 9 years in SoF. I love it here. Still making do with B1 level french but after your video going to level up big time in this area. Have a good day.
Is it better than USA?
how will i get to know when and where to apply for internships as you said internships are signed months before. I am planning to go for my masters in france next year for the september intake
Your business school will inform you, you’ll also notice your french classmates landing their internship offers and start to apply yourself. Good luck !
❤ France 🇫🇷
Hii iam planning to do my msc in marketing and creativity from escp business school next year I have around 2 years of experience in digital marketing. How is France currently for marketing jobs ? Is it worth studying in this country fur this field please let me know iam interested in learning launguage as well 😅
That’s for you to answer man, it was worth it for me because it helped me achieve my goals. Good luck!
Most of what you said is true for any place not just france. Very insightful. Keep them coming. 😎😎
Right ? Adult transition happened for me here and much of it would’ve been similar in India or elsewhere
The title of the video of working in paris, i thought you would talk about how pitty salaries are and how unaffordable life is. How you become financially poor and poor over the years.
This vdeo was such a refreshing take on work life balance! Thank you! Would love to hear more about work culture in France, especially for expats.
Will keep that in mind 🔥
The english subtitles don't exist
I must say very impressive french (i'm french lol) your accent is really good
Man that makes my day 🔥
Please let us know about French nationality what happened?
How long it took you to get your french citizenship?
I didn’t get it yet Haven’t resumed my application yet
@@JoshuaBalata OMG No :( , what happened? So I must conclude that the program they have to get citizenship in 2 years after completing your masters degree from a French university is lowkey not true and unrealistic
Informative 👍
Glad it helped ❤️
Brilliantly summarized, my man! ✨
Bro ! Thanks :D
The long lunches and dinners thing is so true! I did a two week language stay in France this summer and was taken by surprise at how long just eating with the family took , not even counting the preparation time lol. But the many good conversations we had and deep connections we made made it very much worth it for me .
Brother, it would be incredible if you could expand your video content around RNCP accreditation, covering all key points for future learners to be fully informed before making any big investment. Your guidance on details like the importance of RNCP certification in French education, its value in the job market, and eligibility for further studies like PhDs would be invaluable. You’ve consistently been informative and supportive towards your viewers, so expanding on these elements could genuinely help many learners make the best choice for their education and careers. Wishing you success and a broad reach in helping others! Your insights are highly appreciated. 🙏
@Joshua, Please explain how “going to work on the farm” allowed you to become fluent in French.
Hi Joshua, I have been following you for long. Eagerly waiting for your French learning guide. How tough it is to get a job as someone, who moved to France as a spouse on a dependent visa?
Pls make a video on job hunting after Masters in France, The job market is really tough now there's a huge audience which wants advice specifically catered to finding jobs in france Josh
Hey, do since the job market is tough do you still suggest to come to france or what is can be done?
Your instagram id is unavailable, the page doesn’t open up..what’s wrong?
Totally relatable Josh! 💯
Hi Joshua..i’m planning to do B1 this year and apply for the assistance program in France (which is for 7 months).. can u plz help me in understanding if we can apply for masters during that program? also can u plz give me the link of the video where you explained how to choose a career which u talked about in ur last video ..i couldn’t find it
Do school reputation matters a lot when it comes to internships/jobs in France?
It helps a big deal yes! Many people find a way without even studying here, so it's not an either or situation. Good luck!
How to download the pdf??
I'll email it to you, sign up to the waitlist!
Could you please forward it, I haven't received yet

Hello Joshua i am watching your vlog from past 4 5 months . its very informative . could you please help me which course is better Msc. Internatonal Business or MIM
I'd go with the MiM (I don't know about the other one). The MiM is a grande ecole program, so it helps you get a work visa later, it allows you sufficient time to pick up the language and you leave with internship experience. Good luck!
Which MIM college did you get into
I wish my French was as good as my running 😂
Hahaaa, let's make a deal, I'll up my running if you'll up your French and we'll have a reason to celebrate!
Thank you for breaking down all my worries.
Glad this helps !
I’m so glad to have discovered you. Binge watching so I can prepare myself to move to France for studies.
Damn this is so rewarding to read <3
