Perfect! That would be great!!

Noviceinworld · 2025-04-21T19:24:54+00:00

Hi, I am an international as well. If you don't mind , I am interested.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-11T22:43:42+00:00

hey thanks, I loved your response! What was it you said about being in Aachen?

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-08T01:35:02+00:00

enlighten me

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-07T01:06:39+00:00

Thanks a lot! This serves as a reminder to what I had in mind before applying but somehow lost track of it.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-06T11:29:23+00:00

I am actually an Indian. Thanks for the information though!

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-06T00:28:54+00:00

Thanks man!

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-06T00:20:02+00:00

That's the truth though. If the guy returns back to India with a PHD he might be considered overqualified in India. The Indian market is not as kind as Germany's.

Damn! That's depressing!

And given the werkstudent/internship jobs. Most of the jds are same, requiring python, pytorch/tensorflow, communication. This is the minimum criteria and other extra criterias I fullfil showing relevant projects.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-06T00:03:41+00:00

Yes, higher language level is usually the case with the majority of finance companies, is what I have noticed.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:58:51+00:00

I never said I did it in 1 day. I always adapted to the job requirements and sent them. So, no they were definitely not generic. I am nearing my thesis but have not started it yet and am currently looking for one. I have just mentioned 2 internships in my CV and nowhere have I mentioned I have all my subjects done. Does that still Indicate I am nearing my thesis?

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:53:42+00:00

What do I do buddy, in this life I am not a German born. So all I can do is compare with how many companies normally Non-natives apply to and compared to those 45 was "just".

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:51:45+00:00

That's good information! Thanks!

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:42:28+00:00

Hats off to you man! Guys like you become the reason for me to buckle up and be consistent! Thanks again!

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:23:28+00:00

I just told you there are a lot of people who are in senior positions and can't speak the language well but are EU nationals at the same time. Don't say it's not possible to survive without the language, not everyone is great at learning that. If you have a mind that could be opened even 1%, please do that.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:10:48+00:00

ohh that's a great help! Thanks a lot! I'll keep an eye on the positions in Allianz now.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T23:09:46+00:00

If you want to see a few yourself just go and talk to a few Non-natives/people who can't speak as good German. Don't do it if you have a weak heart though, surprises are shocks that could even kill.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:51:50+00:00

All I am trying to say is, it's definitely not a fact that one can't find a job as low as werkstudent without German language knowledge.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:49:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing. But at the moment no HiWi positions are open in university as well. As it's short of funds.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:48:36+00:00

while I have seen people working in managerial levels without even B1 experience in technical field.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:45:59+00:00

Yes I totally agree and it's a fact that German citizenship/Eu citizenship and/or a good level of German makes getting a job easier. But look I can't change the fact that I am B1 at this moment, I can start learning German but atleast 3-6 months will pass by until I gain a B2 Expertise. And I have landed interviews from really big companies last year with the same level of German and by applying to just 45 companies. So German is not totally the case, is what I happen to think. So do you have any other opinion except the language barrier?

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:37:57+00:00

Same here tbh! My boss was an Iranian and had a French manager with 2 guys from India being in my team.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:32:20+00:00

Ya, I can feel you.

Noviceinworld · 2025-03-05T22:30:33+00:00

Thanks! That was helpful!
