Hi fishes. I am currently hunting for job opportunities in Germany via LinkedIn and Xing.
Although not getting many screening calls. I am thinking of resigning from my current job in India (NP: 2 months) and moving to Germany on job seekers visa. As I hv heard that it is much easier for someone already there.
Is this a good idea? I am currently 30, single and don’t have any urgent responsibilities here. I want to settle abroad and hv been working towards same since last 7-8 months.

I guess that would be a riskier bet than normal time. Given the layoffs going around the world, it could be harder to get a job.

But if you feel you are well prepared, go ahead. Just because you are single.
