Congratulations! I wish you well!
Dear Danu, I stumbled upon your account several month ago. Visiting you here from time to time to learn from your experiences.
I also have been in Germany. I grew up and lived there for around 30 years. I studied Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science.
Than I decided to go back to Türkiye in 1994 for almost similar reasons. And for the thought that it might better for me, to rise my children in our native environment.
With a look backwards through all the years gone bye, I can say that it had its pros and cons.
It might have been better for economical reasons to stay in Germany. Especially when I think about all those economical an political crises that we had to face, but I didn't regret so to speak.
I wish you good luck. Keep focused on your new targets and only look back, when you have been fully integrated in your homeland.
Hoşgeldin komşu!
Hi Ceteco, thank you for sharing your story. I don't regret going to Germany, because I made great connections there and learnt a lot. It helped me for my growth. I don't regret also coming back to my home country, because my life now is calmer, more joyfull and economically a bit better.
Safe travels and smooth transition to your homeland. I hope your life is more joyful upon return. You will have community and connection which will be very good for the soul.
Atleast you went out there pursuing your goals. Thats wonderful 👍🏼
Thank you Andrew. I think happiness should one of our main goals.We must earn enough to live without worries, but also be nice and respect each other. As every new begining it will be a bit hard in Bulgaria, but with the love and support of my friends I believe all will be good in no time.
That's very intriguing. I hope your career and home life get much better according to your desires and hard work, Danute. We could certainly use and appreciate your skills and talents here in the US. Bulgaria sounds like a much nicer place at least. Good luck!!
Thank you Timothy. My phisycal location is not stopping me to contribute to US companies. I have 2 great customers there snd also was very pleased with what I saw from US, but my roots are in Bulgaria and prefer to be close to my family.
Thanks Dani,as a expat ,I can relate in everything that you've said, mostly in relation with work here,Iam more experienced and qualified than my German coworkers but I'm less paid,by the way I'm fluent in german language, having said that i have decided to leave Germany next year after 5 years here.I wish you all the best in your home country and I hope you will never have to leave home again 🤗
Thank you for the comment Wilde. I wish you nice and easy transition. I hope soon I'll be able to set up my place to make new videos. So far all is good and I enjoy it. Also thanks to my great customers, which left me a bit more free time knowing what I'm going through.
Great overview! Thanks for sharing
I am happy in a truly beautiful place (weather aside): the north of England
Happiness is one of the most important things. I'm happy for you, and good weather you can enjoy on a vacation.
i liked sharing your story of personal growth and cultural exploration. It takes a lot of courage to leave behind the familiar and step into the unknown, but your journey is an inspiration to many. Your experience of feeling out of place in Germany and finding a new home in Portugal is a testament to the importance of embracing new cultures and ways of life.
I want to encourage you to keep following your passions and seeking out new experiences. Your openness and expressive nature are valuable traits that make you unique, and the world needs more people like you. Keep writing, keep exploring, and keep being true to yourself. I wish you all the best on your continued journey of self-discovery.
stay safe
stay happy 🥰😘
Thank you very much for this lovely comment. I hope I can help to people in my homeland with the experience I have gathered.
Come to Canada
For sure I'll visit Canada one day. It's in my "must visit" list.
Wow I admire your courage, I've had enough myself of people pretending everything is so easy for them just to look pretty and cool. I have no experience in Germany, but I have lived in several countries away from my own (partly fleeing corruption, nepotism and other social dysfunctions as you probably also originally did yourself...) and I have the same experience as you, only in other countries. In general, I find that moving abroad is overrated. People in recent decades have grown increasingly unhappy in their own countries, because the outside world is more visible than it ever was in the past. At the same time, humanity has been losing a lot of its spontaneity, because the corporate mentality and toxic positivity that goes along with it permeates every aspect of our lives these days: indeed, we are subconsciously prompted to always appear at the best of our performance, and we don't even realize that's what is ingrained in our brains and makes some of us very toxic both for ourselves and others. Being a genXer, I experienced in my youth a time when very few people lived abroad, either as immigrants, migrants or local expats [those who paid their move to a foreign country on their own]. The wording only shows status here: save from those *proper* expats sent abroad by their homeland company, thus in optimal conditions, settling abroad is always accompanied by some kind of downgrade, at least at the beginning, even if it's only social because you simply don't master the language, and that naturally translates in less opportunities and/or recognition at work as well. There are many motives to go abroad, but it seems it has spun out of control in our era, a bit like a rite of passage or some kind of normality that it is not, and I don't believe it's something for everyone nor easy enough to "try it out" as soon as one's disgruntled with their own country. The sacrifices entailed in moving abroad are often overlooked, misunderstood and underrated anyway. For some, living precariously *precisely* because you're a foreigner is easier to digest than being unable to make it in your own country just because the system is crooked (and you're not privileged) and/or it's unsatisfying (most Western Europeans and other citizens of supposedly "richer nations" fall into that category abroad).
Last but not least, the grind of corporate life is showing its weaknesses for more and more people, especially the youth. In the past, job security and social evolution as well as wealth *could* be obtained working for an employer. This is simply *not true* any longer in so-called "developed" countries, where the middle class is losing all of its comforts one by one. Prices rising quicker than salaries have been the trend for a couple of decades now. Working full-time doesn't guarantee you can live decently... even a roof over your head for you alone has become some kind of a luxury, with so many professional adults sharing flats in big cities as if they were students. This is insane! It's no wonder so many younger people have no interest in the "normal job" situation that doesn't even pay enough to live decently nor guarantee security. This is why, in my personal opinion, going back to a less wealthy country but at least your own, and enjoying a more natural lifestyle (both subjectively and objectively so: more adapted to self & less industrialized) makes perfect sense to me! People are finally realizing there's more to life than just making money, and always more of it for ever less growth, quality, serenity and satisfaction. It just isn't worth the trouble!
Personally, I first moved abroad to train speaking the language I had studied, at first with the intention to do just that for a couple of years and go back home find myself a job. I never wanted to go back home and I renewed the adventure in other countries several times but discovery was really my ultimate aim (I'm a wanderluster). However yes, it does come at a steep price and I believe it's an uncommon approach in the long run.
Finally, I'd like to thank you for your authenticity, wish you the very best, and I'm certainly looking forward to your next video.
Wow Bellasie, thank you for finding time to comment. I totally agree with all you said. I love travelling, but only to see other cultures. Honestly I'm sad that humanity is constantly disappearing in developing countries. I wish you a lot of luck and less troubles in your own sdventures.
I think you couldn't have made a better decision. Good luck in Bulgaria, it's a beautiful country.
Thank you!
Facts mam my friends also planning to visit Germany for high salary i shared this with them
I hope it will help them to make more informed decision.
@@DWorkshopyup now they want settle here only😂😂
HI Dani, I wouldn't generalize that immigrants get payed less than locals for the same qualification across companies - fortunately (a number of my colleagues are immigrants, some also from Bulgaria). Think awareness of such unfair situations has raised and the (certainly existing) cases become less. I also know cases where some earned qualifications are not recognized inside Germany. But it is also getting better, a number of qualification certifications are unified across countries now. And in many cases carreer changers are also considered now.
In any case, I can understand your decision and am wishing you a good time in Bulgaria!
Thank you for the time to write this comment. I do know one great German company owner and also a German who was a great manager and I still work with these people. My opinion is based not only on my experience, but also on friends ones. Sure it's not valid for all companies, but people should be careful to stop such practices and be aware that not all is wonderful.
Hi, mich würde interessieren als was du hier gearbeitet hast? Warum; meinst du, hast du wenig deutsche Freunde gefunden? Lg
Zuerst war ich Mechanische Ingenieur - Produktdesign, aber in den letzten 5 Jahren war ich Qualitätsmanager für dasselbe Unternehmen. Für Freunde hatte ich fast keine Zeit, für mich auch.
