I’m a Canadian living in Paris since Feb 2023. Thankfully I am fluent in French, I think it makes such a huge impact on one’s experience. Moving to anywhere without knowing the language is a huge challenge and can be very isolating. Bravo to you both for your courage and effort
"HEC is in the middle of nowhere." Truth. 😂
This was so real. Especially the fact when Joshua talks about how the reality of marks in India and abroad varies. So honest and hopeful ofcourse with the amount of understanding he pursued it with :)
I'm so glad that you found the video valuable and enjoyable :)
This was very valuable. Thank you 👍🏽
It's only been a few months. I can relate to a lot of things that you discussed. While, I am getting to know new people and learning French, it also gets difficult to deal with thoughts and emotions. It is challenging and since I asked for it, I should also accept the things that come with the good stuff and learn to deal with it in a healthy manner.
Yeah man. It's not the easiest transition. Thanks for your comment!
Wow... Now studying at Lille... I wish I saw this content months ago. Thanks so much for sharing!
this is great!
Thanks for your kind comment!
So authentic. As someone who just moved to France for studies this hits close to home. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your kind comment!
Hey Mayank,
As someone who just moved to Paris 3 months back, this video made so much sense. Thank you both for your honest feedbacks and views! 💯
I'm so so glad to hear this, thank you for your comment! All the best!!
The setting is just 🔥. Awesome content too..
Super glad!! Thank you!
This was such a honest and real conversation! This video is important because it’s going to tell more people that it’s normal to feel lonely in the beginning.
Thanks for your comment!
Great video guys,
Invite us for the dinner someday
🙃
Loving Brillat-Savarin and Comté lol you have definitely become French !😂😂
Great video!
Thank you!
@@MayankSehgal Idea for a video: how different is your life now as a working professional relative to what it was as a Master's student?
Hey mayank could you make a video on questions you were asked at via interview and talk more about France visa
It is my first time studying in Europe, I agree with you guys on the deadline part, I’m part of this exchange program in Rome and Paris, I spent 3 months in Rome and currently I’m living in Paris until the end of the year. I never struggled to make friends anywhere I’m a north India, I have lived in south India even with the language barrier I made a lot of friends. To be honest I made over 50 friends in Rome within the timespan of 2 months, I am already living in Paris for 2 months and I only have 4 friends so far 😅 it’s a bit harder for make friends in Paris.
Hey Mayank,
I recently moved to Portugal from India to study at Nova SBE,
Every point you make in this video is 100% reliable, thanks for letting me know I am not the only one going through the same issues, and these are just instances of life that helps you grow,
P.s Big fan of your content, since I found you channel, while I was studying in Manipal as well.
Hey Pranta! I'm really glad to read your comment. Thanks for the kind words!
The day I arrived in Nice.. I just wanted to go back to bangalore.. Then I gave myself a week’s time and said to myself that if it feels the same way after week then just leave. I did not unpack my bags for a week and I started to feel ok eventually. I can totally relate to Joshua when he talks about first year at work and not feeling competent like I used to back in India. Job was not a big struggle for me as I was sure from day 1 that I’m not going to stay back and never really applied for jobs initially. Also I rejected those offers I got as I was afraid staying alone in Paris. Even now I would go back to any place in France but Paris. After a point I felt that, I should give it a try before going back to India at least gain some international working experience while I’m here. Then I started applying for full time jobs outside France .. It took me few months to finally find the right one. But the whole experience of being alone opened many new possibilities in life for me. There was good bad and worst but everything helped attune to myself
I'm glad that you pushed through, especially when it can get so tough! Thanks for sharing your story.
Facing the same problem with Germany.
Can you make a video about INSEAD please
When are you cooking and inviting me over during the weekend?
Ps. Great video guys!!!
When you're back from Canada!
@@MayankSehgal hahaha awesome setting man seriously….love how you’ve upgraded it to a proper podcast lvl setup quality
Ahh thanks man! This was the first one I did with this setting, but for sure I'm gonna do more
Are there children who had to return back to India because one couldn't find a job even after getting 2yrs APS inspite of picking up French language
Should I target LBS or HEC ? I love HEC for it's course structure, gap year and campus life. But because I want to settle in an English-speaking country should I rather choose LBS ? Is it easy to get placed in an English-speaking country after finishing your MIM at HEC or ESSEC ?
Hi Mayank, I am a classical Indian dancer (45 years old) moving to Paris in a few months. My biggest concern is finding a studio to practice my dance everyday… that is not too expensive. I normally practice 3-4 hours a day. If you can offer any suggestions in this regard, I would appreciate it. Thank you !
Hey, that's great that you're moving here! Tbh I have absolutely no idea about it, but I'm sure you'll be able to find something!
@@MayankSehgal thank you for taking the time to respond 😊🙏🏾
Hey is this the man who was featured in Easy French videos?

Mba from iim Ahmadabad / Bangalore /Calcutta is better or mim from essec ?
