Hey guys, I currently am on the verge of finishing my masters in chemistry in Germany. I am originally from India and don’t want to go back. Although Germany is a seemingly great country to live, unfortunately, for me, it never suited me. I have never been so mentally depressed and unmotivated ever in my life (despite previously having a hard life). I think it’s the loneliness and how you’re just never accepted. I cannot think of living here long term. I have nothing against Germany so I would like to not have comments ‘defending’ my stance of living in Germany. I have made up my mind and I just cannot live such a life. I want to ask which country would be great for me. I have a background in chemistry so would be great to have a country that has opportunities for that. That’s the most important. Preferably an English speaking country. Safe for women. Good work life balance. Acceptance of expats(of course I’m not delusional but at least to an extent).
This exactly! OP should mention what type of town/ city she has been living in. Germany is fairly diverse. I used to live in a mid-sized city and hated it. Then I moved to a big city and started to have a much better experience- met people from different countries, friendlier Germans who were more than happy to socialize in English as well as at the same time, improved my German substantially by simply hanging out with German speakers in social gatherings and nightouts by learning the colloquial phrases. Life in Berlin vs South of Germany are like two diffeent worlds.
