Considering moving to Vienna

For context, I (26F) am American (born, raised and currently living there) with an Austrian father from Vienna. I have been visiting Vienna/Austria since I was a child and have around C1 level German, with some family living in various parts of the country. I recently came back from Vienna and feel my perspective on my life in LA changed. The public transportation and quality of life really left an impression on me and I would love to reside there for at least a year and possibly return to LA after. I can stay with family while I am there.

Is this a reasonable goal or does it sound like I am a tourist romanticizing a country? I have concerns about finding work there and would love the perspective of a native person. Vielen Dank!

Edit: I don’t really have a firm plan in mind but leaning towards working there as I would need a source of income eventually; however not sure if my German is up to par. My mother has mentioned to me that I have dual citizenship but I have never confirmed this with her.

I currently work in advertising in LA (4.5 years work experience) so my work would likely fall in the same category. Additionally, I have an American bachelors degree in Business with German as a minor.
