If any of these five things holds true for you, you should really rethink your decision of coming to France to study, especially if you plan on coming here to study at a business school.

I love how english speaking people go to different countries - which speak, logically, a different language - and expect everyone to speak english. I will never get it lol
Because its an international language i guess 🤔 everyone studies or has studied english in class. And, at least where i studied, teachers were always saying how important is to know english. But i can see that in France it isn't that big of a deal🤔 which is not bad of course but interesting 🤣
@@therealmethatyoudontknow I agree, we learn it at school too but I think the whole mindset of expecting people to be able to communicate in a language than is not an official language of the country they live in (especially without doing prior research) is anglocentric and kinda naive.
To explain more about why people dont like to speak english in France, our education system, for sure is teaching too many stuff in my opinion, but not to be comfortable with making mistakes. when we learn a language in class we are afraid to make mistakes out loud. so we try not to speak too much in another language. Moreover, people can make fun of you (yeah i swear its true) if you try to imitate the american or british accent and can see you as being snob or arrogant in the worst case. When you grow up, that stupid thing tends to disappear but some people still not evolve from it. So yeah, french language it is hahahahaha GOOD LUCK
@@celiaj2484 thank you for explaining that to me🤣 i moved to france two months ago and didn't understand that
@@therealmethatyoudontknow you survived lol so you can be proud :D if anyone has questions I am available lol
Becauz they have less knowledge about various countries of the world and their idea of international is ‘america’
Been 8 months in France and can defnitely say People are extremely dismissive if you speak in English , the frustration does add up and Alienation is real . Language is a priority!
French people are so racist
???
@taiwosavage vlogs bro I lived there for 3 years to study because I know French but the people there are so racist and disgusting and Paris is so boring it's just média
Lol I guess now you know what it feels like for us, to have to know English because your mother tongue will not be something you can speak to people who aren't from you tribe.
@@rilanalamar2103 but not every single foreigner in France is from the US. My first language is Spanish, I do know French but I know English better than I do French because in my country we learn it since we’re in kindergarten and I don’t understand why you have to be so disrespectful about it.
1.dont depend part time job
2.dont expect to get jobs in English speaking countries
3. U will be struggling to communicate if u only know English
4. U need to know the language if u wanna work here
5. If u don't wanna research for ur job
Why can't I count on part time
@@suad_4413 Cause the market is already crowded.
Germany is better
@@suad_4413 They don't pay. Duh?
can i settle down in the us if i do my bachelors in france and then my masters in the us?
oh my GOD you don’t know how hard it is to find a fellow Asian (non-EU international students face similar finance issues, hence!) that is in an industry i’m interested in! glad i found you! thank you for this video
Why move overseas if you're gonna have financial issues?
@@joshr24 for the exposure! and by issues i meant administratively (different fees, different scholarship grants, etc), not monetarily
@@joshr24 sometimes the experience is so valuable it is worth the huge challenge
Josh.... I don't think anyone moves overseas and thinks they will have financial problems.... im sure people assume they will be able to find a decent job in retail or food when they move...since those jobs are easy to come across all over the world.... or so they assume...
I aspire to join HEC Paris and your videos are really helping me prepare myself. Keep Going, it's impacting real people :)
U r country
Uhm ok lmaoo
Don't join
HEC is the most difficult economic school
@@oqam9067
1) As compared to IIMs (2% selection rate) HEC is far easier to get into (20% selection rate)
2) I have seen the superficial French education system; it only looks good from the outside. Most institutes are only money-making institutes.
3) Getting a job in France is a next to impossible task for someone from a third-world country
Life in France is frustrating even if you have an advanced level in French. On top of that, French companies prioritise natives no matter how excellent your prior professional experiences are. I have been living, studying and trying to work in France for three years now, I can say that I am a fluent speaker in French and English (I'm a native Lithuanian) although I often get discouraged by the french bureaucracy and overall atmosphere
I soooo understand you. Same experience as well !
How can I get in touch with you because in my university we are being offered a mobility year in Lithuania. ?
Then are you still in France now? What urge you to stay so long there?
Hey Mayank! Thank for putting out all this fine content. 😁 You saved our life bro
I’m so glad. Thanks so much for your comment!
This has been incredibly helpful! Thanks Mayank!
I’m watching this video and it makes me feel so glad about knowing French on a C1 level because of my education!! In Germany it’s more common to learn French in school :)
Germany provides free education.. why do you want to study in France??
And I want to ask something about Germany!!!
Many people say that Germans are very racist towards Asians.. and they avoid talking to them.. is it true? [BE HONEST]
@CrawlerRoop Wowowow calm down… You know, when people travel abroad for their education, it’s usually not for the price, but because of the country or some other stuff, but price will never be the reason.
I’m not German and have never been to Germany, but don’t say « BE HONEST » because it just gives the feel that you will never accept another answer than Germans being racists toward Asians.
Btw I’ve never heard that thing abt Asian hate in Germany, despite living in the neighboring country
@@Fuyu_ImpactTV Yeaa Ik Germans are racist towards Asians and Blacks.
Hey Mayank! Thank for putting out all this fine content. 😁 Can you please do a video about the dual degree programs at HEC? Like how is it different from the usual MIM at HEC, how/when to apply for those, cost, salaries and if it's worth it. Thank you!
Loved the content of the video. Great work 👍
2019 HEC Paris MBA graduate here. I can echo everything said in this video. Moreover, if the French element is a challenge, prospective students shouldn't hesitate to explore education options in the Netherlands or Germany, where schools are cheaper and where there are far more English job options.
Very helpful video, thank you!
I'm coming to Paris to study too, and this helped me a lot, thank u.😊
Hey , are you gonna study like for college or high school
@@wod1.... collage actually, in a year
Was it easy to get accepted??
Thank you so much Mr.Mayank ❤🙌
Thanks for this. I'm an American living in Berlin, considering doing a master's in France. I used to live in France in high school, and was a French teacher back home, so I've got the language part down. It's the part-time work thing/financing I'll have to work on as well as looking up how to do preliminary course work either in Berlin or France, since I'd like to do a master's in public health, but haven't formally taken any courses in it before. Here's to hoping! Thanks again for your video :)
America is better tho
Hey! I’m finishing up a masters in public health in France and I’ve already got a job lined up for me after graduation. Hit me up if you’re looking for more info.
I am jobless for 4 years, what should I do ? I have a master degree in IT
@@eligirl100 Thank you!!
@@listener7117 Well, I'd like to live in Boston if I move back to the States (that's my hometown), but it's too expensive and the transportation there is a nightmare, so I'd rather just not move back to the US. Maybe it's better for some people, but not for me.
omg thanks for your video, it was very helpfull. I´m going to France for an intership but I´m not that good in french as in English (I'm mexican). Thanks for your tips!!!
hello i’d like to ask about grades. what are the expected grades of igcses that i must have? for the french language, is a B acceptable or must we have and A to be accepted in any universities in France? this is coming from a year 10 student from malaysia :). your videos helps alottttt thank you !
hello ik i’m a year late, as an international student if u would like to go there to continue ur studies u will need a DELF/DALF certificate of the minimal required lvl B2!
good luck to you!!!!
@@nadiraalya8640 yes that's true. You need to have a B2 level of french in order to go to any university or high school.(It took me around 2 years doing it in a french school btw)
my gf and I have been admitted to HEC and ESSEC respectively. Can't wait to live in Paris together!
Are you in Paris now ?
Hey ..
Hey Mayank, Can you please make a video on different programs that are available for HEC Paris Summer School as the applications for the same has started. If you can explain the different programs and how they can help further in applying for HEC post undergraduate degree then that'll be of great help. Also any information you can share regarding the Summer School will be of great help🙌.
I’m working on it! Most likely the next video :)
Your suggestion is very good, which will solve many problems.
Yes absolutely program won’t allow to peak around for sure !!
Nice video ✌️✌️
Perfect it was really helpful
I ve been in france for like 2 years now and im still not that good at speaking but i can understand well now but still that nervousness still striking me everytime i go to school idk why
what are you doing now?
how was job opportunities in AI?
you are amazing!
Looove the video! Super interesting and insightful, thank you so much! Love the haircut-grooming-glasses-situation :D :)
Thank you!! Glad you like it! And thanks for the compliment on the haircut-grooming-glasses-situation hehehe - I've actually been cutting my own hair for the last one year - glad to know that it looks good!
@@MayankSehgal It does :)
Looking forward to more of your videos! Stay healthy and safe!
@@MayankSehgal hey is getting job tough in france ...if you know french
you got a sub mayank sehgal!
I just love ur accent it's so good
Hey, love your videos! Wanted insight on the MSc programs. Is finding jobs, visa etc a problem for international students given the short 10 month duration of the program? Or is it treated equally to the MiM from a salary/job perspective?
No it's not same as MIM. MIM/PGE are highly competitive programmes & they have a different reputation.
The best way to have the French people to help you is if you start the convo in French after that, they can switch to English and help you in English. But it’s prefer to start the conversation in French. Always say Bonjour, Excuse moi, Merci etc..
Completely agreed. Anyone coming here even on holiday should at least learn a few basic words!
Hey sir, I loved your insightful video I’d really appreciate it if you respond to this comment.
I can speak french but I’m an Indian Citizen. But some people told me it’s really hard for non-french citizen especially an asian to get a job in france regardless of his french proficiency & his performance in MIM program. Is it true?
Yes, cause they have to convert you student visa to job visa right. Also the company have to spend alot of money to do so and they have to mention why they're choosing you over a french or an European 🤷🏻♂️
Needed this! Thanks Mayank. Hope you're doing well!
very useful video :)
Im from Bangalore and it's quite in impressive seeing a bangaluru cup on the side
Thankyou very much bhaiya for making such an informative content
Thanks man for a information which came from your personal experience
Amazing communicator
Thank You!!!
Thank you, was looking for a video exactly like this.
Hello Mayank! I am an aerospace engineer from Barcelona and I got accepted in the Master in Management of 2 years in HEC Paris. I was wondering how the courses are online and if the experience is still worth it? I do not have any problem to wait one year, work in my home country and come in 2022 hoping that the pandemic situation has become better and I can do the master in management presentially.
Thank you so much for your videos. The content and the way you explain it is great!
Good luck brother 🙌
How was your gpa? If it is ok for u to share.
Actually HEC is worth if you come from French prépa (2 years of intense study and then a competitive exam)
Hey bro, your channel is very informative. I was wondering if I can get your opinion on something. I am trying to get to the MSc in Strategic Management program at HEC Paris for 2022 intake BUT this coming April 2021, I will have 3 yrs of professional experience. What do you think are my chances of getting into the program?
Appreciate you man!!
Hard to tell based on that information! But afaik 3 years' experience is still OK but i'm not sure
Language is very important, pls learn French or German before pursuing your studies, I would even recommend an year long immersion program in French Republic
HEY BRO, LOVE YOUR VIDEO! I WANT TO STUDY AEROSPACE ENGINEERING IN FRANCE , CAN I GET YOUR PIECE OF ADVICE ON THIS PLEASE.?

But in Canada there are areas that speak French, is it possible to find work there with a certificate from France?
Hey Mayank ! I liked the way you talked about how it's near to impossible to do part time at HEC! But what's the situation at Essec? Do you have any friends whom can collab with and shed some light on the top 2 B Schools? I know I'm asking a lot. Anyways great video. Thank you again!

Hello mayanak, I arrived in belgium April 8 a country that speaks two or more languages. But, I am only fluent in english. And have been studying french by myself. And currently on Aug 30 is my first day in school, and I still dont have a grasp in french. Am I doomed? lol...
what is the situation now?
The first one caught me but I don't know what to do. i don't come from a rich family + I'm from Poland which is a much poorer country than France so I have to relay on a part job even if I start making money here in my country and then save it i would still not have enough money partialy due to my currency being worth less and partialy due to the lack of time to work right now. But in time I'll go to college i will speak 3 languages, have job experience and good education so will it be so hard for me to both find&keep a part-time job?

Hey Mayank!! I am a graduate with Bachelors in english honours and im also learning french currently. My goal is to get B2 level in french in the next 1-2 years. What could be the base on which I can try my luck in France/Paris? I am really clueless as to if I should get a job first here in India, save some money and than think of going to France. Please help me out.
As a strangers you should definitely have some strong kind of diploma (or work experience in a "educated fields", for example if you are a store seller it might be VERY difficult) or be ready to be paid really low (in unrewarding jobs like cleaning employees, etc) compared to the cost of living. Unlike many countries we almost never work in English, except very rare situation. Maybe try to reach an Indian company settled in France before actually coming here ?

Hi I am planning to do masters in production engineering so and i did my bachelor in mechanical engineering so what do you say about ?
Segakji Please let me know how to apply to HEC for a MBA..
How much do we need roughly - travel, course fee, stay - rough estimate if we don't do part time ?
As in - rough estimate to have in savings kind....or sort of like a backup fund....
I'd say something around €70-80k overall, to be on the absolute safe side.
Course fee around €40k, living expenses €1k*24 so €24k, total being €64k, and then add €10-15k for travel and other miscellaneous things that can come up in life during a 2-3 year period.
Try asking somebody to help you in French in an English speaking country. I'm pretty sure people are going to be pretty dismissive too, and you might feel alienated :)
Completely agreed - which is why I really stress on this that if you wanna move to France, learn French 🙌🏼
