Moving to Oldenburg, can I ask for advices?
Hey everyone, I would like to get some honest feedbacks on my career plan moving to Oldenburg.
I’m Vietnamese, have a US Bachelors in Business Administration and Film Media studied minus Computer Science, with about 4 years of experience in the tech and agritech sectors in Vietnam, my homeland. My wife and I are moving to Oldenburg soon on a B18 Aufenthaltstitel.
For the first year, my main job will actually be in a restaurant service, this is a family choice. We will spend my first year to improve our German, we are currently at A2, and learn to make our daily life in Oldenburg.
Once we’re settled, my goal is to ask for funding my first indie game project as a side business, I love gaming at heart. I will ask a formal Nebentätigkeitsgenehmigung from my Arbeitgeber.
My target is to pitch for public funding from regional boards like Nordmedia (Oldenburg/Bremen/Hamburg). The game is designed to appeal to the German market for deep mechanics and realism. I believe I have a few advantages to ask for funding.
I have an active network with highly skilled tech and art firms in Vietnam. I plan to co-founder with local to start a business and utilizing the Vietnam techs and firms as an outsourcing force. I have experience on pitching multi billion VND valuations for many teach and agritech startups in Da Nang, Vietnam.
My game project also have nice scope which not only can be achievable for a skilled small team in Germany but also with big skilled team in Vietnam for a same cost.
Are there any thing I should watch out for regarding my side business planning, or any tips on approaching the local tech scene in Germany? I am appreciate any advice!
