Hi
I graduated in 2019 with a bachelors in library science and have around 5yoe in software development with Python, react/typescript, Swift, and 4 YoE of German classes in HS + college. I also have 2 publications in human computer interaction in CHI + IEEE.

I wanna move to Germany/Austria but am really struggling with bringing that goal to fruition and quickly loosing patience

I’ve been applying places while living in the US and getting nowhere.

What is it that you bring that the companies wouldn't be able to get from local hires? I think identifying that extra differentiator is going to be very helpful

There’s very few mobile developers in the US, so few that I’m able to get a full wfh job for $100k/year. Citi and Wells Fargo have offered me $100/hr…..! I’m 27 and have 3 YoE + undergrad experience lol. My parents have worked their entire lives at General Motors as engineers and I’m getting salary offers higher than them from both ford and GM — $80/hr.

I’d just have to imagine that demand for my skills is happening across the pond too. At least that’s my hypothesis. No amount of money or company is making me stay in the US at this point

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage. It’s so hard explaining this to my manager because I already have a workload that’s lighter than others (not because of performance or my request). Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
