Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on how to break into the electronics/electrical engineering field in Germany.I have a Bachelor’s and an MSc in Electronic Engineering, and I moved to Germany on the Chancenkarte. My degrees have already been recognized by ZAB, and I’m currently waiting for the official recognition of the engineer title from the German authorities.The difficult part is that I do not have direct work experience as an engineer yet. For the past 3 years I’ve been working as a software developer, mainly because in my home country there were very few opportunities in electronics. That is also one of the main reasons why I decided to move to Germany and try to build my career here in the field I actually studied.I currently live near Düsseldorf, but I’m open to relocating. My German is still a work in progress, and I’m attending an intensive VHS course with the goal of reaching B2 by the end of the year. I also speak English at C1 level and Italian at C1 level.If anyone can suggest companies, roles, or even a way to get my foot in the door, I’d really appreciate it. I’m open to starting as an intern, junior, trainee, or even in a helper/support role if it gives me the chance to enter the field and grow from there.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in a hiring process in Germany and I’ve completed the first interview. Now I’m waiting to hear whether I’ll be invited to a second round, and I’m trying to understand how this stage typically works.

I have a couple of questions:

• What is the main purpose of a 2nd interview from the company’s perspective?
• How is it different from the first interview (especially for technical roles like Field Service Engineer)?
• Are there any clear signs after the first interview that indicate you’ll be invited to the next round?
• On the flip side, are there “red flags” or signals that usually mean you won’t move forward?

For example, does a delayed response usually mean they’re still considering you, or is it often a silent rejection?

I’d really appreciate insights from people who have been on either side of the hiring process (candidates or hiring managers).

Thanks in advance!

I am 22 f working at a US based mnc about to complete 1yr of experience.(I am from a non eu country). I completed my bachelors in AI and DS then was hired as sde-1 and my work is webdev (angular and springboot).
I need to move abroad due to some personal reasons and it is not an option anymore but a necessity for me due to safety reasons. I decided that the best way to do it is masters in germany as it is less expensive and opens up opportunities. I am already learning the language and since I have future plans for PR I will be learning german till c1 or atleast b2 until I complete my masters.
I have time to start over and dive into a new tech stack before I go and start my masters.
Which of the below is the better option to choose.

1. Webdev / App dev
2. Devops
3. Security
4. Robotics
5. Embedded systems
6. AI / ML / DS
7. IOT / Smart sensors
8. Design / HCI / UI UX

I am aware that the job market is bad. I would have chosen AI as my bachelors was in it too but I see alot of people going for that course and I am worried about competition and whether there are even as many jobs as the number of people.
(not to boast but i also have very good logical skills and tend to pick up things faster so will probably have a slightly above average profile)

Would appreciate if hiring managers or people from their respective fields gave advice.

Hallo Nachbarn!!

ich hätte eine kurze Frage und hoffe, dass mir vielleicht jemand mit Erfahrung weiterhelfen kann.

Ich habe eine Stellenausschreibung vom französischen Generalkonsulat in Frankfurt gesehen. In der Anzeige steht, dass Bewerber*innen mindestens drei Monate vor der Einstellung in Deutschland wohnhaft gewesen sein müssen und eine deutsche Krankenversicherung erforderlich ist.

Ich lebe aktuell in Deutschland, aber meine Situation ist ein bisschen speziell:
Ich wohne zurzeit zur Untermiete und zahle die Miete nicht unter meinem eigenen Namen, deshalb kann ich das nicht mit einem offiziellen Mietvertrag nachweisen. Ich habe nur eine Bestätigung meiner Vermieterin, dass ich hier wohne.

Außerdem habe ich noch keine deutsche Krankenversicherung, könnte mich aber natürlich vor Jobbeginn (Start wäre der 29.06.2026) darum kümmern.

Was ich allerdings nachweisen kann, ist, dass ich schon früher länger als drei Monate in Deutschland gelebt habe.

Meint ihr, dass ich mich unter diesen Umständen trotzdem bewerben sollte? Vielleicht hat ja jemand Erfahrung mit solchen Anforderungen bei lokalen Verträgen / bei Konsulaten.

Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Einschätzungen! :-)

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate your thoughts and experiences on this.

I’m a mechanical engineer with over 10 years of experience in maintenance and industrial systems, and I’m currently considering a Field Service Engineer (FSE) role in Germany. The position involves around 80% travel, including international assignments.

On paper, the job looks attractive — good salary, technical exposure, and career growth. However, I’m married and have a young child, so I’m trying to realistically evaluate the impact on family life.

Here are the main questions I’m struggling with:

• How manageable is an 80% travel job in Germany when you have a family?
• For those in similar roles, how often are you actually away from home (days per month)?
• Do companies in Germany generally support work-life balance in such positions?
• Is it sustainable long-term, or do most people transition out of FSE roles after a few years?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have firsthand experience working as FSEs in Germany, especially those with families.

Any insights, honest opinions, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,

I have recently started a job (01.04.) which I am planning to quit soon for various reasons (Overall quality of life, nature of the job, better employment alternative found, etc..) and I would like to ask how should I proceed?

I am just planning to write a resignation letter and hand it to HR, but what else should I do/tell them? should I give them reasons, should the chef/team be informed by me or HR? what should I expect?

Thank you

Hello everyone! I'm a final-year Industrial Engineering student at the Turkish-German University. I'm a Turkish citizen. Currently, I'm doing a long-term internship in Program and Project Management at one of Türkiye's largest telecommunications companies. Before this, I completed two other internships, one at Daikin. After graduation, I want to apply for jobs in Germany, especially in telecommunications companies. What are my chances in the job market? It doesn't have to be the telecommunications sector or project management. Will graduating from the Turkish-German University be an advantage or disadvantage? My English level is almost B2, and I have a TestDAF certificate for German. Is pursuing a job in Germany while continuing my career in Türkiye a realistic goal?
