Will you mostly be looking for work in Germany or in other places as well? Cover letter etiquette varies place to place.

mostly in germany yes but open to other places like usa or canada

Looks good for Germany, you may include why exactly you do prefer Datev. Maybe add same company-specific news so that they see you are really interested in what the company is doing and this is not just a copy-paste letter.

But I would recheck the typos, especially upper-/lowercase. Looks a bit unprofessional at some parts. Maybe use the free version of Grammarly for that.

For usa/canada related coverletters if they are different

Hi Fishes, I need some help.
So I've got the offer letter from Genpact today, but I have to send the required docs and BGV should happen and then in 3-4 days they might send Joining/Appointment letter.
So my doubt is, shall I inform the current Consultancy that I'm rejecting their offer? Or shall I wait till I get the appointment letter from Genpact and then inform the consultancy?
It's already been 15+ days since I've joined the company via consultancy.
PS: I have just joined on 3rd Feb on C2H

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
