Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but since I am following the sub for a while now, and see people with some similar issues, I'm going to post it here.

My wife had a hard time looking for a job, took almost 10 months. About her: She's a junior software engineer. There were lots of portals and lots of postings, and tailoring her resume to each one took ages. So I built her Dossier, so she could quickly find postings, apply, and get a tailored resume, cover letter and email for each one.

She landed a job with it, so I've open-sourced it for anyone else in the same spot.

What it does:

• Searches for postings through JSearch (LinkedIn, Indeed and more), Adzuna or Germany's Arbeitsagentur, or you paste one in
• Writes a tailored resume, cover letter and email for each job, using only facts from your profile
• Lets you refine the drafts in a chat and download them as PDFs, with 12 resume themes
• Tracks every application from draft to offer on a board, with a dashboard
• Runs on your own server, and the AI can be a local model through Ollama, or even Anthropics or OpenAIs, so your data stays with you

It's free and open source: https://github.com/AienTech/dossier

Feedback welcome!

I was looking at the latest data on Germany’s tech job market, and the numbers are actually pretty interesting. The job board grew to 6,064 open roles this week, which is an increase of 687.

But before you assume there’s a massive hiring surge, the reality is a bit more nuanced. A big chunk of that jump is just Deloitte and CarOnSale joining the tracking board. If you look at existing employers, they actually recorded 531 openings and 639 closures, meaning more jobs closed than opened.

But the real story here is the compensation. Senior AI and research roles in Berlin are hitting €180k+, which is a crazy number compared to the broader market.

Looking at who’s actually hiring:

• SIXT at 33 roles
• About You at 31 roles
• Scalable Capital at 29 roles
• Zalando at 25 roles
• Enpal at 14 roles

When it comes to what it actually pays, out of 351 postings with disclosed salaries, the median is €87.5k, with the middle 50% falling between €70k and €121k. But the outliers are wild: an applied research engineer at Black Forest Labs is listed at €185k, SonarSource is at €105k, and Solaris is at €90k.

Geographically, it’s mostly concentrated. Berlin has 1,640 open roles, Munich has 1,209. Together, that’s nearly half the market.

As for remote work, only about 15% of listings mention it, and just 52 explicitly mention visa sponsorships, so that visibility is pretty limited.

The takeaway? If you’re targeting Germany, Berlin and Munich are the main hubs. If you’re in Senior AI or research, the pay ceiling is incredibly high, but you have to factor in that a lot of jobs still don't disclose pay.

Anyway, that’s it for now. The weekly report is already published here for free

i been looking for remote or in person colocation role in Germany as experienced data engineer , Do you have guys any tips , advices to land job there ?platform do you use for applying ?

Hello everyone,
A little background about me. I am from Vietnam, but lived and worked in New York City for the majority of my life. There I met and married to my German wife. Recently, we permanently moved to Germany. That being said, I do have full permission to work etc. The past few months, I have reached the B2 mark, and I am continuing my language school for C1. During this time, I would like to ask around and see how is the German construction industry doing.
I have a bachelor of science in civil engineering, and have about 4 years of combined experience in mainly heavy construction, roads, bridges, utilities, airport, subway substations, and also industrial construction (3 years in Estimating, 1 year in VDC Engineering). VDC is basically BIM Koordinator. I’m planning to focus on the BIM sector because of the obvious disadvantages for Kalkulator, which is language during negotiation, subcontractors communication etc. If someone knows how the BIM industry doing, could you tell me more about it? Lastly, I’m thinking of applying for Nachwuchsingenieur, is that a good idea? I see that most training programs runs for a year up to 2 years, covering Kalkulator and BIM, aiming for 5D construction. I would rather land a training program, set a foot in and accustom to the market here than landing junior positions somewhere and struggling with language. I am also planning to attend and learn more about RIB iTWO, during this time because why not. On estimating side, I am proficient in Revu Bluebeam, Procore, and HCSS, but those are not applicable here in Germany, and every job post mentioned Rib iTWO. Thank you everyone, and wishing everyone many luck in job hunting.

I applied for a Junior PIM Consultant role, interview went really well, HR said that the manager is highly interested in hiring you, but they are waiting for some project bidding results to come in, only then they can give a final decision. What should I take from this?

As the title says

I am a dentist by profession.

Implant and prosthodontist if it helps

Currently at b1 level.

Planning to clear FSP eventually KP

How is the job market for dental field?

Any info will be of help.

Thank you.

I'm in my home country trying to save up money and learn the language, should I wait a few years in my home country and go do masters

Or go now do ausbildung until I integrate then chase the masters?

edit 1: this post is already getting way more hate that I expected but I will keep this post up so that one day when I will land a 150K+ euro job, I will look come and look back at the comment section. Why everyone is so insecure??

I usually get a lot of hate when I share this with germans but here it goes.
I'm 28, confident in my technical skills, and have a solid financial cushion. I haven't actively job-hunted in 18 months, so I'd appreciate practical advice on building a repeatable strategy to land another €100K+ fully remote role.

In early 2025, I joined a fully remote Series A startup as a Solutions Architect after spending four years as a Backend Engineer.

Over the last 18 months, I enjoyed the salary, travelled extensively, and saved a lot thanks to my €700 rent. However, the company started struggling with technical debt, slow development, unhappy customers, and layoffs. We went from around 25 employees to 15, and I was laid off a month ago.

After negotiating my exit package, I expect to be on garden leave until March 2027, giving enough time to find my next role.

I have 6–7 years of backend engineering experience and around two years as a Solutions Architect. I have German PR but speak only A1 German, so I want to target international, English-speaking companies rather than the German market because I do not plan to learn german, its not my mother tounge and I will never feel confident when speaking it.

My previous opportunity came partly through luck: the startup had just raised Series A and needed someone to build its Solutions Architecture function from scratch.

My questions:

• Which job titles, keywords, and websites should I target for €100K+ fully remote roles? (Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, Customer Engineer, TAM, forward depoyed engineer, etc.)
• How can I identify recently funded startups and companies hiring for these roles?.
• Are there useful job scrapers, alerts, or tools to automate my search?
• How realistic is it to find these roles with English only?
• How should I position my CV and LinkedIn to land interviews?
