You forgot to mention the workers unions, the most important for me as immigrant in Berlin it was to join a worker union. They help me a lot and I learn a lot of my worker rights. Just don't forget as a worker you are not alone, we are all together.

Good video but you forgot to mention two things:
- your employer doesn’t have the right to know why you are sick although some companies will ask you. You don’t have to answer.
- it’s not a company decision whether they give you your vacation days back after being sick in vacation. They’re legally forced to do this.

I‘m an Ami who has been living in Germany for almost 25 years now and am still amazed at the benefits employees receive here. I definitely do not take it for granted. Getting your vacation days back if you are sick is something I just realized a few weeks ago. My daughter recently got sick during a week‘s vacation. I thought, “Oh, what a shame.” My husband told her to go to the dr and get an Attest. She got her vacation days back.😶 I‘m still flabbergasted by this (smh)!

I think that one of Germany’s main advantages is that despite high wages, the cost of living, when compared to other countries in Europe, is quite affordable.

As a foreigner who's worked in Germany for 1+ year, I enjoy the serious work atmosphere here and surprisingly, good work life balance.

I just got out of visa application appointment at the Houston German Consulate! I am starting a research position in May and I'm so excited!

I'm a veterinarian (from southern europe) currently employed in Germany for 4 years now.
A lot of things you mentioned are very job specific. Especially paid overtime and people not bugging you on your time off (a vet is NEVER really off).
Also my boss (who is 100% german) is easily 30 mins late almost every day to the point that he's driving ME nuts so meh, take the video with a pinch of salt is what I really wanna say.

[viswesvarsekar]

Very interesting and informative. Kudos to your work 🎉

[koultrain]

The best ad transition so far, nicely done. I was so amazed I even watched the full ad 😁

[shamandruid]

Thanks for the (as always) high quality content. May the algorithms that control our lives one day bless this channel

[BItencure]

Dude i was just reading about the german labor law, thought about checking your channel for new videos and here's just what I needed. Can't wait for part 2!

[sahandat]

Finally a video with a sponsor promotion which was very relevant and very well merged with the content. I usually FF the promotions, but this one I really enjoyed watching! nice!

This is so helpful, as a college student i want to move to germany when i finish my studies and this info is soo helpful, thanks for making this video! 😊😊😊

[MajaJuric]

I've been working in Germany as a Software Engineer for almost 4 years. The salary & benefits are great, colleagues pleasant people to work with. I have 28 vacation days and working remotely since corona started.

The taxes & health insurance are high, but since I've moved in Germany managed to resolve some health issues I've been struggling for a while. For me was really easy since I'm EU citizen and I must admit I love all those laws in Germany.😁

I'm going to move from Munich to Berlin in October since my husband got a job in Google Berlin, so I hope we will enjoy Berlin as well. 🤗

[ninoindeutschland]

I got B1 and 3 years electrical engineering, 8 years management and marketing strategy yet all companies reject my experience from Dubai simply because i don’t have B2 or C1 level.
So clarify please that anyone seeking to work in germany should also keep in mind that you need 2 years to learn the language and another 3 years for Ausbildung = 5 years

[miskaknapek]

Welcome back!
Always nice to get more videos from Radical Living :)

[themegajediOBVM]

You made a very good video! I listened it with pleasure and also I've known a lot of interesting things.

[machtmann]

Thanks for the info! I am interviewing with a startup in Berlin and with international companies, they can provide visa and relocation help too. Maybe I will pass the interviews and get a chance to go live in Berlin!

[Volkanizma]

Great video, great country. Looking forward to seeing more videos related to working in Germany (especially in Berlin, maybe:)
