Method
Job change strategy that respects German employment reality.
Employment consultations only help if they produce a sequence. This page outlines how Devcomputelayer structures an expat transition from first doubt to signed contract.
Three layers we always check
- Status layer Residence title, job-related conditions, and whether a new employer must file anything before your start date.
- Contract layer Notice length, probation leftovers, non-compete language, and bonus clawbacks.
- Market layer How long similar roles stay open in your city and language band — so your search calendar is honest.
A typical sequence
Order matters more than hustle. We rarely encourage resigning first.
Quiet discovery
Two weeks of market scanning and constraint mapping while your current performance stays steady.
Active search
Applications and interviews on a calendar that protects deep-work days at your present job.
Decision & exit
Offer comparison, start-date negotiation against notice, then a controlled resignation week.
Where courses fit
If you want the full curriculum, take the Expat Job Change Intensive. If you only need orientation, begin with a Signal Call on our pricing page. For a personalised read of your situation, use contact.
