I suspect this has more to do with Germany's economy rather than your CV. You didn't have issues finding gigs before. You are not alone on this. My suggestion is to consider starting your own business creating and selling something you make. Based on my own observations, if you really can't land a job in these circumstances, there is a good chance that you can't possibly land a job. I stopped wasting my time applying for jobs and using this time to create something.
- _kb 2y agoThis is good advice is you have the capital to back that. Not everyone is/has been on US SWE salaries though. There's also a non-trivial amount of meta-work in a self venture that's frankly not that fun. Speaking as someone also non-US, without a financial safety net, and with a diverse background, larger orgs - both public and private sector - can be an interesting place for a multidisciplinary skillset. This is particularly true if you enjoy switching roles. While absolutely not the best path for optimising monetary gain you may be able to land a substantive role then continue to pursue new projects and secondments as opportunity tweaks your interest. This removes some of the volatility and risk while keeping the intellectual stimulation of a new challenge if that's what you enjoy.
