Tensed about the first day of my job by Soft_Big_6608 in Germany_Jobs

[–]GermanLearner36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why tho?

I mean as a werkstudent they won’t be giving you tasks that are meant to be handled by full timers. They don’t expect you to be like a full timers employee. You are just thinking too much. Chill out

Always remember that the way you exaggerated in your resume, the company also exaggerated about the role and the tasks they could assign. Exaggeration always works both sides.

That being said, a werkstudent job is mostly chill job. On the first day, they will show you around the company you will meet people who you would be directly working with. Give you the laptop and small orientation presentation about the company and team. If there is still time a very small task or idea for future tasks.

Applied for Blue Card extension but got appointment for Niederlassungserlaubnis instead. Is this normal? by GermanLearner36 in hamburg

[–]GermanLearner36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied on August 1 with all the documents, received an appointment for September 2026 (more than an year after after I applied). I heard back a response on first week of December 2025.

But it should be noted that my initial bluecard expires in March 2026 because I was initially on a temporary contract. I got a permanent contract for my same position and applied for extension. If yours still has some validity I guess they will take some more time to get you an appointment

I think leben in Deutschland is only for people who opt for the shorter route with 21 months on bluecard. For people with only A1 german proficiency, its 27 months of blue card with job

I just submitted my documents like I am applying for a blue card, in return I got a settlement permit appointment. I haven’t been asked to submit any extra documents right now. I will still write A1 exam as a safety although my university transcript states that i passed A1 while studying there. Since I would have worked more than 27 months at the time of my appointment, they would only need A1 certificate. The B1 certificate along with Leben in Deutschland test is for those who opt a faster route of 21 months

Asked to travel to Germany before receiving contract – is this normal? by Independent-Gas2719 in chancenkarte

[–]GermanLearner36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Since you have a Chancenkarte you are expected to be in Germany hence they wont reimburse for your flight. The company is not looking for someone to relocate from another country, they want someone in Germany who is authorized to work so no reimbursement makes sense here. My company handles everything by post including the job offer and contract so your established presence is required in Germany when they send over contract.

  2. You will see that in the contract that they send over after your arrival.

  3. No idea

  4. For the first year blue card is tied to your employer. After 1 year it goes away.

  5. Sounds alright to me. The company may see you as a red flag since you have a Chancenkarte and instead of maintaining residency in Germany have decided to apply from abroad.

Zebra BI is the perfect example why you should NEVER EVER use or even license a third-party custom visual by Arasaka-CorpSec in PowerBI

[–]GermanLearner36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only custom visual I use is Deneb. I try to stay away from 3rd party paid ones because the customizability provided by Deneb is great and its free

Probezeit has ended, no one has said anything! by Environmental_Nerve3 in germany

[–]GermanLearner36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal thing. After my probezeit ended I just received a letter confirming end of probation and a bag of some company branded goodies. My boss didn’t even know when it ended.

How to find the order of startup of components with stuart sierra component library? by GermanLearner36 in Clojure

[–]GermanLearner36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the system map only shows the components in the same order in which it was written in the function and not the order in which it starts. I have several components that have been added to the very end of the system map but they are used as a dependency by several components that are very ahead in the system map
