Business Terminology? What's the English term for Hartz IV? Bundeskanzleramt? I also don't visit foreign countries anymore. Sure, there are beautiful places, but can you believe in some shops they don't even speak a single word of English? I'm a tourist. Do they really expect me to learn their language before traveling there? I even shouted at them to at least learn basic English, and then they were no longer friendly. Maybe it's because they don't feel comfortable with my arrogance, expecting them to adapt to my culture while I couldn't care less about theirs.

LOL, you have an eastern accent, probably Russian or Ukrainian, and you are complaining that companies in Germany require knowledge of German. People want to live in Germany, have a good salary, but don't want to make any effort to learn German. You are another example of immigrants in Germany who are entitled. If you want to work in English, move to the USA or the UK, but... oops, you won't get a visa to those countries, or better yet, go back to your home country.

The german IT job market is a joke from many perspectives. There is not a single person on this earth that meets all the requirements of a randomly picked job brief. And if there was, this very special person would never take that job, because of the salery offered. I mean US to GER is about 5:1 in raw numbers. Plus you lose almost 50% of it as taxes. And of course you keep paying taxes on anything you consume in germany. Germany is a loss to anyone who wants to grow.

People wanting to live in Germany but not willing to learn the language is why we can't have nice things. Anyhow, I'd offer a bit of a different take on why companies want to hire German speakers. If you go work for a German company - or ANY company in ANY country for that matter - you can't really expect everyone to speak English. I would expect a French company to speak English, I wouldn't expect a Polish company to speak English. That's common sense and pretty universal no matter where you go. I understand that there's typically business analytics, product owners and so on sitting somewhere between the actual developer team and business/users. But honestly - I've been in software development for 15-something years and I would always want to talk to users and business and would always want to be able to talk to developers if I'm on the other end of the table. It's not a red flag - it's just a bad fit for you if you don't speak the language. It's perfectly normal and I'd argue necessary for your developers (who also double as L2-3 support in many cases in modern software development) to be able to understand users.

You are lucky in Germany everyone at least speaks very good English. In my country, english level of average software developer is very bad. When applying for jobs, not having strong english skills listed as requirement is a red flag for me even though I am native to my country. It basically means you will be possibly underpaid and work with less qualified or experienced people. Yes there are great developers much better than me who can keep up with industry with very basic English skills but that is the exception. I like that you see it as a filter to choose a place where different cultures will be appreciated. This is why I work remotely with foreign companies. Having people from different cultures in your team makes your day a lot more interesting :)

Very reasonable to require people working in Germany to understand the language. Not making friends because you're a foreigner sounds bs. Requirements for becoming close friends are higher, sure. I grew up with german tv and my german is about c1 and I appreciate bunch of the music and comedy etc. Though I don't live in Germany. These requirements make my skills more valuable. Good shiet. EDIT: Also you sounds russian to me. From my experience it's russians who require their language to be spoken. In my country in a company with people from multiple other countries the russians gather for smoking/lunch are speaking russian. Not english, not the language of the country they are in.

Generally I agree with your opinion. The point of the video is - no need to learn German for getting software developer position. In the end of the video I say exactly what you've said. Btw, I don't see anything wrong if people from the same country chatting on their language. The problem starts to emerge when those people are way too many ... but that's a responsibility of the company/government/society no to allow those people to become a problem. I know what I'm saying. I'm Ukrainian. I speak Ukrainian now, but before the war I spoke Russian as many other people around me. I understand very well how language can be used as a weapon.

I worked in tech support specialized to medical institutions and being able to speak german was really important because of contact with the clients. A syrian immigrant was fired because he couldn’t string a coherent german sentence together. Having to speak german can probably land you in some lucrative niche job that is unreachable otherwise but its probably some hellish legacy codebase (I remember that some software wasnt affected by the log4shell exploit because it still ran on java 5). Basically speaking german is important when writing german software and or if you want to respect the culture. In higher educated jobs people usually speak german (not in tech support)

For the first kitchen you often can find a used flat in "Kleinanzeigen". You just need the option to bring it to the new appartment. But correct, it is often teh case, you have no furnished appartment, neither kitchen nor lamps on the ceiling. Only in Berlin, there is a minimum equitment for the kitchen necessary. But more and more landlords install a kitchen and sometimes you can take over the kitchen from the tenant before.

I like the 8-5pm schedule and you dedicated some time to study after work though the 7am-10pm on-call kind of sucks but that goes with the job lol. As a hardware engineer in California. Our schedule is like 9am-7pm. But we have 3 days of the week doing 9pm or 10pm meetings because of timezone differences. I would like 8-5 but I definitely don't want 7am-10pm on-call lol, that would spike my anxiety. But I'm always very aware of how specialized we can become working in the same role and getting good at it. :) Need to keep picking new skills or finding a job at older age will be more difficult.
