Hey there @scholaris ^^ ... I wrote a bti about the motivation to look for a bob abroad in the first edition of this series. You can look it up there, but to summarise it quickly: Very job situation for freshly promovated scientists and only temporary contracts, which are aweful if you have a family ;)

I assume that if you go and look up the job market, you could find something nice for you too. The Switzerland is eager to build up a good green energy sector, so there maybe something suiting there ^^

The german rental situation seems to be something uncommon. I heard about these problems now from many countries. Big renting companies are earning a fortune and seem not to care about humans too much. Social aspects are dimishing very fast, which is such a pity ;(
