Finding roles that genuinely work in English is a challenge of its own.</p> <p>I don't have some big success story to share yet. I'm just starting, learning as I go, and trying to figure things out.</p> <p>So I thought I'd document the journey here. The applications, the rejections, the things I learn, and hopefully, the good news too.</p> <p>If you're job hunting in Germany right now, how's it going for you? I'd love to hear your experience.</p> career development networking startup
