I am a social media lead with 5 years of experience at a profitable healthtech in Bangalore. My manager has assured me that he’ll train me and I’ll be promoted to a marketing manager in a year’s time.
Would it make sense for me to move to Germany for an MBA and settle there at this stage? Or am I better off working in India?
Need advise purely from a holistic growth POV.
If you want settle outside go for it. If there is slightest possibility of coming back, then stay back and play the long term game.
For growth, you are comparing a speed boat 🛥 and submarine. Not the right way to compare..
Personally your manager won't be there with you forever, he just wants to make his life easier. Getting a new guy at your salary night be tougher so think twice about what your manager says, they too have their own hidden 🥕
Makes a lot of sense. Do you think working in Germany for say 2-3 years and then coming back to India would have any significant advantages? I.e. higher salaries, better opportunities etc
Nope, there used to be time when working in the west used to help. Now the talent passing out of MIT or IIT or similar comparison have same access to resource. The new generation doesn't think that people experience is helpful. The markets and culture totally different.
The good thing is the west is getting older at faster rate than India. We will have lot of Indians across all countries soon. So Indian working on foreign country can migrate to other foreign country soon.
On a side note: My manager assured me if I keep performing at the next level for ~1 year, I'll be promoted for sure.
My manager got the next level role at a different company and left. I'm left holding a bag full of sh*t.
Be wary of manager's promises. These have a way of never getting fulfilled.
If you are moving out, try somewhere like Australia instead. There was some person on brokebrothers insta who's a SMM making 25 lakhs after coming back from Aus.
Haha, German isn’t so difficult to pickup tbh. I am more concerned about the 40% tax slab and conservative salaries.
On the other hand it’s an experience, don’t think I’ll be able to do this in my 30s.
German salaries are a joke dude
No
