In today’s episode of the Staying Indian podcast, we are thrilled to have Rajat Likhitkar @DesiCoupleInGermany a Software Automation Test Engineer based in Dusseldorf, Germany, joining us. Beyond this, Rajat is a dedicated content creator and mentor as well, offering valuable guidance to people looking to settle in Germany, covering important topics like lifestyle, immigration, and job prospects for Indians.

In our discussion, Rajat shares his journey of relocating to Germany and the challenges he encountered in accessing resources for important aspects such as housing and spouse visas. Having experienced such difficulties, Rajat and his wife Rupali decided to help other Indians looking to move to Germany through content creation, offering practical insights and one-on-one mentoring sessions for these individuals.

We then discuss the job market in Germany for Indians, where Rajat provides practical insights into job prospects. He gives a detailed overview of how to apply for jobs in Germany from India, jobs in Germany for Indians, the best platform to use, and the timelines as well. He shares whether the German language is required or not, and if it is required for which jobs it is needed. The conversation also glosses over the booming sectors in the German job market, especially for Indians. But our conversation extends beyond the job recruitment process. We have a real discussion about salaries, wherein we decipher how much Indians are getting paid in Germany and whether they are actually earning more in Germany as compared to India and other countries. This also includes talking about the purchasing power parity in Germany and India, comparative earning potential, and the prospect of increasing savings in Germany versus India.

Additionally, we talk about the Indian community in Germany, discussing the festivals, lifestyle, and overall expat culture.

As we conclude, Rajat gives practical tips and considerations for individuals contemplating a move to Germany, especially those relocating with their families. Whether you're interested in job opportunities in Germany for Indians or simply curious about the expatriate experience, this podcast promises to be a valuable resource.
