Stop Dreaming of Germany (Until You Watch This) | The Brutal 2025 Job Reality

Описание: Is the "German Tech Dream" still alive for Indians? 🇩🇪

With a tough job market and rising living costs, many are wondering: Is Germany still the land of opportunity, or are we being sold a lie?

In this unfiltered episode, I sit down with Jayganesh Saravanan, who recently cracked the code and landed a role in Germany’s competitive tech sector. We aren't just talking about the "wins"—we are digging into the grit, the mistakes, and the "South Indian vs. German" workplace culture shock.

From avoiding "body leasing" scams to the reality of rental discrimination, Jayganesh shares the exact steps he took to turn a "No" into a "Yes" in a recession.

👇 IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:

The Reality Check: What is the biggest lie people in India are told about moving to Germany?

The Job Hunt Strategy: How Jayganesh stood out when the market is supposedly "horrible."

Culture & Survival: The South Indian workplace vs. the German office—and the social rules you should actually ignore.

The "Expat Trap": The #1 financial mistake new arrivals make that drains their savings.

Discrimination: An honest talk about the rental market and the "Tech Support" stereotype.

If you are a student taking a loan or a professional planning your move, this interview is your practical roadmap to making it in Germany.
