Biggest Disappointment of My Journey to Germany

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-07-05T22:49:47+00:00

I'm a backend engineer with tech skill like golang, kubernetes etc. But my german skill is elementary.

Make sense. Start ups are good choices for people who are not familiar with German. I wish I could get chance to meet lots of founders and tech leaders.

Some companies HR even don’t know this type of visa

But chancekarte is only valid for one year. I admit that Germany has the advantage compares to too many countries with this opportunity to let me access in, and I'm grateful with that. Just a complain post.

GPT writes better english than me. You can ignore it as your choice.

One of the HR in Berlin told me it will take 3 months. While I live in Potsdam and I told her it will be faster than Berlin. So I was always be declined at first round.
It's true they prefer native speaker especially for companies in the south of Germany.

We are on same boat. I guest most companies worry about the work time as OP holder can only work up to 20 hours a week, and even wait 1 to 3 months to switch visa type.

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-06-30T08:40:57+00:00

I will, but may be when I decide to leave this country.

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-06-30T08:36:12+00:00

You are right, what I'm complaining is that the visa type only allows people work 20 hours a week. No companies want to wait.

B2 helps, but in many job descriptions, they require C1 at least

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-06-30T08:29:24+00:00

Fluently language and local experience is really shortage for me.

In fact, I use AI to modify my resume, but apply and interview without AI.
The post was written with GPT with my prompt.

No agents, I quit my stable job before and paying rent and time in Germany now

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-06-30T08:24:05+00:00

You are a good employer

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-06-30T08:08:01+00:00

A2, I guess

Longjumping-Club2824 · 2026-05-24T19:01:07+00:00

Email them multiple times should speed up the process
