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).

    I’m Indian and came to Germany at a younger age than you. You are absolutely right and making the right decision. I wish I never stayed here this long. Country made me depressed too.

    I highly doubt that the success (personally and professionally) Indians achieved in other countries can be replicated in Germany for the reasons you mentioned.

    Access to English speaking countries is tough. If you can’t get into any of the English speaking countries, you can also explore expat hubs such as Dubai. Best luck. Good decision.
