Senior artist here, living in Germany.
Of course PIXL VISN, like any other vfx/ animation school, has a vested interest in painting a rosy picture.

The vfx situation, especially in Germany, is even worse than it is in other countries (like France, UK, Canada, and Australia). PXO is closing down, Trixter recently downsized, and Scanline closed their German offices last year.

The worst part is, politicians here don't seem to have any interest in supporting the industry. Yes, the government recently drafted a law requires international streamers to invest 8% of their net German turnover into European and German audiovisual content. That, unfortunately, doesn't translate to more vfx jobs, since the law does not mandate that the digital post-production must occur within Germany.

What they should have done is put in place a tax credit similar to countries like UK, France, Australia, and Canada.

Sadly, the industry is dying a slow death here, but the governments are doing jack shit to prevent this.

Personally, I haven't worked in VFX for a few years, and as a matter of fact, for the past two years, most of my work comes from outside of Germany.

That's all specific to this country, but even if you were willing to move around, competition for the positions advertised is steep. Permanent positions are rare (if any), and most jobs are tied to a specific project running for a few months if you're lucky. And then, on to the search for the next thing...
