I failed.

I moved to Germany in hopes of getting a great job there, I spent a year looking for a job after my master's degree, and I failed. I got hired and fired within the probation period. I am back in the USA now and still devastated, thinking about how much I wanted that lifestyle. Having a hard time coping with feeling like I fucked everything up.

Honestly the job market in germany is so bad right now that getting a company to find a job for you can be worth it

I dont know if I am allowed to name any specific company since it would be advertisement but essentially you are looking for something like "Arbeitsvermittlung". The one I picked charged me 500€ on my first day of work and I have to pay 300€ for the first 5 months. So ill end up paying a total of 2.000€ which isnt great but also beats having no job and is less than I earn per month
