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).
Canada is very affordable… Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver do not make up Canada. I hate how this is the norm.
And before you say “tHatS wHerE aLL thE JoBs ArE!”. That is BS.
Ehhhhh this is a bad take. What do you think OP is going to do with a masters degree in chemistry in Grand Prairie, Alberta?
Any city with any sort of reputable job market is utterly f*cked in terms of COL. The only exception to this is Calgary.
Maybe I’m just asking for downvotes since you’re getting downvoted but it’s the same in the US. There are still plenty of places with affordable cost of living. It’s worse than it was a few years ago but it’s still not that bad in say, Detroit, where I grew up and it’s a great place to live and has plenty of jobs in chemistry.
Places outside of the major cities are generally colder and get more snow as well…
Oh please. Seriously? Geography is the driver of weather. Yes, cities are “warmer” then outlying areas but this is such a stupid take.
