Life After the Offer: Settling Into Germany with Shalu Rungta

You've got the offer (or you're close) — now what? This call covers everything that happens after the "yes," so you land in Germany prepared instead of figuring it out in a panic during your first month.

We'll cover whatever's most relevant to you:

• Salary negotiation — what's reasonable to ask for, how to counter an offer, what benefits/relocation support to push for
• Real cost-of-living numbers — rent, health insurance, taxes, day-to-day expenses, what your salary actually translates to
• Visa and paperwork logistics once you're in-country (registration, bank account, insurance, the bureaucracy nobody warns you about)
• Settling in — finding housing, the first-month checklist, what actually helped me adjust
• Making the most of being in Europe — Schengen travel, building a life beyond just the job
