Career growth in Germany for non-natives
Dear Friends,
How about the career growth prospects for non-natives in German IT companies ?.
Ofcourse, I understand that language would be a barrier. Even, if we learn to speak fairly but still we can't equate with native speakers.
Apart from language, are there equal/enough/fair opportunities for growth? Or, Will we just remain as programmers or so called Software Engineers, till the end.
This question is plaguing my mind for sometime...
I am currently in the position of Technical Leader in my parent company in India and sure to become Technical Manager in another two years.
When I started looking for job here, I realized that I can't get something equal (Technical Leader) here. I have only the option to be a Software Engineer, noting more than that.
Dear guys, kindly share your experiences relevant to career prospects, salary hike etc. I am sure those would be valuable for me and other new job seekers...
Thanks & Regards

Re: Career growth in Germany for non-natives
chira what happened to you, you were normal short time ago.
I still think that germans are not worse than any other nation to ausländers. Same as everywhere, some like them and some dislike them.
And you can not blame whole folk for something that someone does. There is no common guilt for whole folk. Only for individuals.

Re: Career growth in Germany for non-natives
Hi guys (and specially fellow friends CoolDude and Lacrima),
Just wanted to share some good news with you all. I know its off the topic and purpose of this forum.
But its very much related to in reply to some of the messages posted under this topic where questions were raised about the treatment to "Untouchables and Minor community people" living in India.
Here is one nice and live example how a student from a village made news:
/*********************/
The small village of Narhai in Uttar Pradesh is suddenly on NASA's map.
A 17-year-old boy from here, Saurabh Singh, has beaten all odds to top NASA's International Scientist Discovery (ISD) exam.
Saurabh, a class XII student, has even bettered Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam, who finished seventh when he sat for the examinations in 1960.
"I had always dreamt of going on a mission on a spacecraft. I came to know about ISD when I was preparing for the Indian Institute of Technology, Joint Entrance Examination," says Saurabh.
The other famous Indian to have done well in the International Scientist Discovery exam was Kalpana Chawla, mission specialist of the ill-fated Columbia space shuttle and the first Indian woman in space. She had stood 21st in the 1988 exams.
But unlike her, Saurabh had never heard of NASA till he began preparing for his IIT entrance exams.
Proud achievement
For Saurabh's parents, his achievement is a dream come true.
"I was confident that my son would do well in his studies. He made it possible with his own efforts," says Nirmala Singh, Saurabh's mother.
Saurabh is now eagerly awaiting his call letter from NASA and hopes to meet his idol President Kalam before leaving for the US a few months from now.
When he goes, Saurabh will be carrying with him the pride of his family, his village, and the entire country.
Here is the link where a video clip is also given:

Note again: There can be many bad reports or news also on different newspapers *BUT* I think +ve so I prefer to share GOOD/CONSTRUCTIVE news only - about people of my country and other countries.
Thanks
