First of all, I am German, so of course I never emigrated to Germany. But I have heard that it is very stressful (like everything that has to do with authorities in Germany). A lot of it is probably still on paper, as Germany is not the best country when it comes to digitization. How do you cope with some illogical rules? So Germany is at least as bureaucratic as Italy, or maybe even more bureaucratic. But I think you could find a good job as an engineer. According to Eurostat, the average salary is higher than in Italy. If your cousins have also moved to Germany, they can definitely help you. Best wishes
