Hey :) ich arbeite an meinen Posts und hier ist einer bei dem ich das Gefühl habe, der ist noch nicht gut, der hätte aber Potenzial. Auch mit dem Bild bin ich nicht sicher: irgendwie ist es weird, aber irgendwie vielleicht auch mal was anderes. Und ich habe das von einem Shooting, also würde ich es gerne auch nutzen 😅. Würde mich bei beidem über euer Feedback freuen (also Text und Post). Vielen Dank! _____________________________________________________________________________________________ A €100k salary and still no apartment 😱. One of the biggest misconceptions in international hiring: If someone earns €60k, €80k or even €110k, the housing part will somehow work out. And yes, a good salary helps. But landlords don’t only care about gross salaries. They rent to applications that feel low-risk. That means net income, rent-to-income ratio, Probezeit, SCHUFA, documents, household size, move-in date and communication. If one of these points feels risky, salary becomes just one detail in the application. Especially for families, this becomes painfully practical. €80k sounds strong until you calculate 3 rooms, two children, one income, Probezeit and a landlord choosing between 80 applications. Suddenly it is not that “great salary” anymore. And while this is happening, the new employee becomes frustrated, stressed or starts to panic because they cannot find a place to live. This is why housing needs to be discussed before the work contract is signed, not after arrival, not when temporary housing expires and not when the employee is already under pressure. A high salary does not fix a housing strategy that doesn't exist. What is fairer for international candidates: The hard truth before they sign? Or disappointment after they arrive?
