Hi, I’m Karan. I moved to Ireland in 2019 to do my Master’s in Digital Marketing from the National University of Ireland, Galway. Like many of you, I came here with big dreams and a hundred questions. What’s the right course? Will I even get a job after? What if I can’t find accommodation? What if the visa gets rejected? How expensive is it really going to be? Trust me, I’ve had all those thoughts. From figuring out how to land part-time jobs while juggling classes to stressing over every detail of my CV when applying for full-time roles, I’ve lived that journey step by step. I started with part-time gigs, like most students do, and then landed my first professional job in marketing. Within 6 months, I moved from a Digital Marketing Executive role to E-Commerce Manager. And in just 2.5 years, I became the Head of Marketing & E-Commerce for a retail group in Ireland. But none of that came easy. Over the years, I made mistakes, got stuck, learned from mentors, and figured things out through trial and error. And now, I want to pass those learnings on to make your path smoother than mine. That’s why I started this Topmate profile. To help students and professionals like you navigate the Ireland journey with real, experience-backed advice. Whether you need help picking the right course, preparing your visa, finding accommodation, applying for part-time jobs, or cracking your first professional role, I’ve got your back. I’ve kept my rates minimal because this isn’t about making a business out of it. This is about giving back, one honest conversation at a time. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to start, reach out. I’ve been there. And I’ll help however I can.
