How I found my lost passion in Berlin
Moving to a new city is more than a change of your address-it’s a journey to rediscover yourself through connections, passion and solitude. I am sharing my personal experience of adapting to life in Berlin, embracing solitude, finding connections, and reigniting the long lost passion.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to start over and find meaning in unfamiliar places, this video is for you. You can also consider this video as a 'Berlin survival guide for new comers' or 'Life in Berlin as an immigrant'.
-----
If you are new here, I am Akash and I live in Berlin. I make cinematic videos about my experience that might help others. Watch till the end and thank for passing by peace✌🏼

    Hey Akash, thank you for such an insightful and inspiring video! I know I might be a bit late to the conversation, but I have a question I hope you can help with. I’m a Business Analyst with around 4 years of experience, and I’m looking to move to Europe-not just Germany-primarily for similar reasons as yours, like growing wealth and advancing my career. Do you think 4 years of experience is sufficient to make this move? Additionally, are there any specific tips or strategies you would recommend for Business Analysts to improve their chances of landing opportunities in Europe? Thanks in advance for your guidance, and I appreciate the effort you put into creating this content!

    • @ich-bin-berliner
      @ich-bin-berliner 8 днів тому

      The strategies are independent of your field. If there is a demand > find visa sponsoring company> high ATS scored resume > apply > repeat. 4yrs of exp seems fine to me depending on your expertise. I am not sure if BA is a field for which companies hire from outside EU because this field might require German language proficiency(for dealing with clients etc.). Probably the best chance is when you are in Germany + have language skills.

    Sir should I focus on pattern printing like diamond pyramid using for loop in java or c will this help in getting a solid logic building?

      If you are in very beginning stage of programming, it might help build your interest in coding. For logic building you can also solve other beginner level problems and not just pattern because pattern is all loops, nothing much to build there.

Also if I apply directly from India, how n what are the chances, that I will be getting an interview opportunity with any German Company. 3. Can you refer me please if possible ? I am a QA with Automation experience in Selenium and Python/ Java, also I am open to work on new stack. Recent experience in Big data testing as well Lastly what should I be learning apart from my above skillset to increase my chances of getting job abroad? Thanks

      Too long comment, I’ll try to answer inline: 1. Your company supports you in getting Blue Card visa. No PR upfront 2. There is no number here as in to decide chances. It depends on skill, demand and approach of applying 3. My reference won’t work(EU location restrictions) 4. Selenium, Java and Python are not enough. Even in Indian job market. UI automation(Including PW with TS)+ API automation + capability to scale e2e pipelines, tons of soft and team skills-definitely must.

      Hey little brother, I don’t think anyone would not suggest you to pursue B.Tech from an IIT. If you can why not? I’m not sure what you mean by enhancing skills, if you are in 12th you must graduate first from a good college. B.Tech will still give you better chances as compared to other streams. I did B.Tech from HBTI Kanpur.
