Moving to Germany
Hi everyone!
I (24M, almost done with my degree in Electrical Engineering, 2 years of experience in industrial maintenance) and my girlfriend (27F, Master's in Biochemistry, 4 years in research) are planning to move to Germany in about a year.
She wants to do a PhD there, and I want to get into the job market in my field. The idea is to build our lives in Germany and, if a good opportunity comes up down the line, eventually make the move to Switzerland.
In terms of languages: I have B1 English and I'm currently learning German, she has B2 English.
Has anyone been through something similar or have experience in these parts? What advice would you give to someone considering this move? And what's the minimum level of German needed to find work in the field, for both of us?
Thanks!
Btw, we are Portuguese.
