Germany & Europe job search strategy

For: engineers who've decided they want to work in Europe but don't have a plan — or who have been applying for months with nothing to show for it.

Most failed European job searches aren't a skill problem. They're an aim problem: wrong companies, wrong seniority band, wrong cities, applying through the wrong channel, at the wrong time of year.

What we cover, depending on where you are:

• An honest read on whether your profile is competitive right now, and what specifically to strengthen
• Which companies and cities to target for your stack and experience level — and which to stop wasting applications on
• Realistic salary bands by city and level, and what that money is actually worth after rent and tax
• EU Blue Card salary thresholds and how they shape which roles are even worth applying to
• How applications actually reach a human here, and why cold-applying to 200 roles underperforms
• What to expect from the interview loop, and a rough timeline from first application to landing

You leave with: a target list, a sequenced plan for the next 90 days, and a clear picture of what's realistic versus wishful.

Before we meet: send your resume and a short note on what you've tried so far and what's not working.

Two honest notes: I can't refer you into my employer or any specific company — what you're buying is strategy and market reality, not access. And I share the visa mechanics I went through personally; for anything legally binding, see a licensed immigration adviser.

Not for you if: you want someone to send applications on your behalf, or a guaranteed placement. Neither exists
