I have a feeling that I know you. Your first name with S******** and surname Ad********

Nah that ain't me. I'm in Berlin tho

Danielhouston:
You will not find a black person working in the bank or at the front desk of a hospital. You’ll rarely and almost never see a black doctor. The day I went to a dentist in Berlin and my dentist was a black woman, I cried. She was smiling and crying as well. You rarely even see a black bus or train driver. Only a handful.

Lol...you're almost in mind with this statement. You are absolutely correct. In your opinion what do you think is the reason?

You see how selfish you are, because the thread does not serve your OWN purpose, then it should be closed. smh

Dude do yourself a favour. Ignore ignorant people.

I just want to add little questions/clarifications as you are making it sound as if everybody should/can live and work in Berlin and other cities are of little or no significance.
Everything looks high in Berlin; number of foreigners (Blacks or Nigerians inkl.) == many English speakers, number of jobs, number of companies (this generally leads to flexible entry barrier in some cases) but so is the competition for jobs as well as unemployment rate.

1. Berlin is not the hot-hub center for all industries, at least I can say that for the Automobile and Logistics and maybe the FMCGs too.
2. The narrative that nobody cares about your course, na your skill matter is not a fact and at best a narrative in that it work for some but not for all. If you don't have any work experience before entering DE which means you don't have any work experience that you can leverage, the first thing and the easiest you can leverage is your course of study through which you should have built the necessary skills via Practicals/Internships/Working Student/ Research Assistants which you can of course you get through or because of your course of study.
3. As a student, there is no restriction on work permit as regards where you can work, which means wherever you are studying, you can still seek and go for to any city to work just that it might require you relocating and maybe cancelling a semester.
4. The lack of Deutsch proficiency will most likely reduce number of opportunities accessible for anyone in DE, its significance and urgency is just different base on location or industry.
5. Even when it comes to IT, most of the biggest firms still have the larger percentage of their IT work force outside of the "Berlins" where we have many startups with fierce competition for everything even though their barrier of entry is flexible.

I will say Berlin is arguably the best when it comes to student `hustling` jobs though (been there, done that), due to aforementioned configuration which might have little or nothing to do with your professional life afterwards.

I have few friends who studied in Berlin and moved out afterwards as much as I have those that moved there after their study, there are no absolutes on issues like this, the main thing is that we should help one another to make informed and better decisions.
my two cents.

Nice. Sounds like you're right here in Deutschland...from your comment, I see you largely agree with my point but u just dey use plenty english. I'm surprised you dont know Berlin is the startup capital of the world of which over 80% is in the IT ecosystem. I earlier mentioned other cities like Hamburg and Munich. But if you cannot speak Deutsch, better carry yourself come Berlin especially if you're an IT professional.

In want to do student jobs and internships related to my field Computational Engineering not just any IT job..The companies around that area offer such.... Those cities you mentioned are very big cities but they didn't give me any good course in those schools there... I am planning beyond student jobs, In am looking at getting the right course and skills for a professional job before graduating .

That's what you think until you get there. Your eyes go clear say na only Berlin sure pass. Let me believe you already have a technical skills since you're going for comp. Eng. In this clime, nobody cares about your course na your skill matter

SOLARPOWER1:
I got admission into computational engineering Msc at FAU ...Erlangen gives 2years resident permit. And Erlangen is just about 16km away from Nuremburg that has a population of about 518,000 people.... That area is a good area to live in with good companies like Siemens and the rest around... Em more research �your own

Story...better find your way to Berlin, Hamburg or Munich...especially Berlin if you cant speak Deutsch, if you really want job in IT. If not na delivery warehouse u go dey work. Thank me later
