US resident here. My girlfriend is looking for an opportunity in the EU. She only speaks English unfortunately and she is in marketing. Two questions: 1) Have you seen it happen? 2) who facilitated the transition? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Some Berlin companies are open to English only speakers and offer relocation. I am going through the process next month with a start-up and am a MarTech worker.

People move across the ocean all the time. If you don't speak any other language you will be limited to the UK, the Nordic and maybe the Netherlands. For other countries you might survive working for large corporations but it is difficult.

Agree with the above. Would also add, Luxembourg is also an option for those with English only language (Recently moved from the UK to Lux)

Kpmg is open for non German speakers, if there is a strong case and you know someone who can gelp you from the inside. I have seen it happen thrice and I am with the company only since 1 year. I also know that PwC has a minimum quota of international people that need to work in a country where they are not resident. I think with the Big 4 you can try your luck, just ask here on fishbowl for an expicit referral for a marketing role (would gladly help myself, but am not in marketing)

Also for any questions, feel free to dm me

You need to find companies that have English as the company language, like Tour Radar. I think PwC in Germany was going to move to English as the company language otherwise it’s rough (when I was there onboarding and trainings were only provided in German 😑)

So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
