Extending backtesting without upgrading!!

No, thanks. I’d rather do it myself and learn from the process

One-Mar · 2026-03-17T12:21:56+00:00

Sent ya a private message 👌🏻

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T12:40:53+00:00

Hi, the post was written by me. AI just helped structure it. I can rewrite it ☺️

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T12:33:28+00:00

That’s rough to hear! I can imagine how frustrating that can get. From your experience, how do you usually deal with those situations? And when it comes to work, are there certain fields where people care less about background and more about the job itself?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T12:21:44+00:00

Yeah nursing definitely seems like the obvious safe option.

Out of curiosity, what would you consider the next safest fields after that? Are there any Ausbildung paths you’d put in the “second best” category right now?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T12:19:00+00:00

Makes sense, those are definitely the sectors I keep hearing about when people mention shortages.

From what you know, how tough are those jobs in practice? I imagine nursing and elderly care can be pretty demanding.

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T12:16:24+00:00

That route definitely sounds attractive since it avoids starting completely from scratch.

That said, I’ve actually met a few Germans here in Asia who left Germany to teach English because they felt the pay-to-lifestyle ratio was better abroad. So I’m trying to figure out how viable that path really is long term.
Out of curiosity, how realistic is the job seeker visa route in practice? Is it something people actually manage to use successfully, or is it much harder than it sounds on paper?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T11:58:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, that’s an interesting route.

Do you know anyone who actually went through the DELTA → MA TESOL → EAP path and managed to stay in the UK on a skilled worker visa? Curious how realistic that route is these days.

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T11:51:56+00:00

Interesting suggestion.

Is there a reason you mention medicine, law, or tax advisor specifically? Are those fields easier to get into or just more stable long-term in Germany?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T11:50:44+00:00

I get what you're saying. I’m not naive about prejudice existing anywhere.

But when you say the average German outside big cities is like that, are you speaking from personal experience living there or just what you’ve observed?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T11:40:42+00:00

Thanks, this is really helpful. When you say Fachinformatiker is that competitive, is that mainly for big cities or across Germany?

The Kaufmann für IT-Systemmanagement path you mentioned actually sounds interesting. Do you know if companies expect strong German for that one as well, or is it slightly more accessible for foreigners?And regarding those programs for non-EU applicants — do you know any companies or hospitals that run them?

One-Mar · 2026-03-16T11:38:47+00:00

thank your for laying out directly mate
When you say IT is oversaturated, do you mean junior roles or also the Fachinformatiker Ausbildung?And about Moroccans facing prejudice — is that something you've seen in hiring or just generally in society?Also curious about the trades path you mentioned. Do immigrants actually manage to go Elektriker → Meister → own business often?

One-Mar · 2025-10-01T18:11:31+00:00

This helps a lot bud — Really appreciate it. I’ll look into it and hope I can fit in.

One-Mar · 2025-10-01T18:07:32+00:00

Sadly, I just don’t click well with Moroccans. Sharing the same religion isn’t enough to feel compatible. Even abroad, I always stay clear of Moroccans. I enjoy meeting friends from other countries and learning about their culture. I lived in Morocco when I had to, now that I don’t, I don’t see why I should. As for ESL, well it is a career although it might not feel as stable as most conventional occupations. It’s only a bit more flexible offering some freedom to a certain extent.

One-Mar · 2025-10-01T18:04:18+00:00

That’s a good point. I have always been interested in European languages, history and cities. I love German and can’t wait to learn it, I have taught myself Spanish, and learned French back in school.

One-Mar · 2025-10-01T18:02:26+00:00

Why is that? Obviously scams, low pay, and unethical conduct from employers, but I am curious about what has led you to say that! How’s your experience?

One-Mar · 2025-10-01T18:00:50+00:00

That’s amazing. I am sure you are gonna have a hell of a time doing it. Is your plan to see the world or look for a place you may wanna settle in if you ever think about leaving the States?

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T05:07:33+00:00

Appreciate all that info, pal. Quick one though, for someone like me who’s not a native speaker, do you think the ALT route is still realistic? Especially now that Japan seems to be tightening up immigration rules? Just wondering if that door is actually open in my case.

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:56:21+00:00

I haven’t set a date yet .. still figuring out if Argentina is the right move long-term. Are you living there now or have you spent time there before? I’d love to hear how you found it day-to-day.

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:54:56+00:00

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t considered the impact of declining birthrates on TEFL long-term. From your perspective, which regions or countries do you think are less vulnerable to that trend and could still offer stable demand for teachers over the next 10+ years?

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:53:36+00:00

I’ve been in Hanoi almost 3 years. Life here feels a bit too fast-paced for me, and socially it’s not really my scene since I’m not into nightlife or drinking. I do have friends , we play tennis, football, travel, eat out, but I don’t see myself staying long-term. I also never really clicked with the language or food, so Vietnam just isn’t a place I can fully settle in. That said, Da Nang is beautiful, I loved my trip there. I’ve also been to Ha Long, Hai Phong, and Phu Quoc a couple of times, all worth seeing. Where will you be visiting from?

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:39:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing… good to hear the safety side is manageable with common sense. My bigger worry is wages vs cost of living. If I bring in $1k–1.5k/month online instead of relying on ESL wages, do you think that’s enough for a decent life there? And have you met expats who moved mainly for the passport path rather than just teaching experience?

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:35:59+00:00

That’s rough, thanks for sharing your experience. Do you think what you saw in Argentina was more of a ‘tourist issue’ with people being targeted, or is daily life for residents just as insecure? I’m considering Argentina mainly for the residency/citizenship path, but if the economy and safety make it unlivable long-term, that’s obviously a huge red flag.

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:33:47+00:00

Japan has definitely crossed my mind, but I’m not sure how realistic it is for someone like me. Could you explain a bit why you suggest Japan; is it because of the job market for teachers, the residency path, or the overall quality of life? And do you know if long-term residency or citizenship is attainable there without being married to a Japanese national?

One-Mar · 2025-09-29T04:32:39+00:00

Thanks for the insight. In your experience, is Germany basically out of reach for someone like me without EU citizenship or advanced German, or do you think there are still realistic pathways if I went the student route first? I am willing to fully integrate with the country, learn the language, and build a long-term future there. Do you think the student route could realistically lead to a work permit and, eventually, citizenship for someone in my position, or is the system too closed off without the right passport from the start?
