My wife is working in a tech company (sorry cannot give out the name) and her company has decided to move their office to Berlin. We have both not even completed one year in our companies and leaving so early will be bad for our resume. I am with another tech company tc 120k (85k base) She doesnt have an option - she can either move cities or look for another job in our current city in germany. I am not sure if it is a good idea to move cities since I am unsure if I will get paid as well in Berlin. What all should we consider in the decision, whether to move and I look for a new job or we stay and she looks for a new job? #tech #berlin
If you get another job, what does "look bad on your CV" actually mean in real terms? And you would easily be able to explain it - "gf moved to Europe" Are you in America or Europe? Berlin is a nice city. Why not plan a vacation there and then decide?
Look bad basically means it’s hard to explain shifting companies so soon. Im also in Europe in Germany, both of us have a job in the city in Germany ,which is not Berlin
You have a valid reason though. And it only looks bad if you leave your next job super early - and even then, if you manage to get another job you want, then it doesn't matter If you stay there a few years, then it doesn't matter.
Besides needing to find an apartment, Berlin is a good city for tech people.
Why not get an apartment in the middle so you each have a 1 hour commute. That will give u a lot more options.
I looked at Berlin due to the startups and the experience, but rents have gotten crazy. Finding a place in between is actually not a bad idea, since moving “to” Berlin simply isn’t a good financial decision. It would give you both time to contemplate your next career moves while keeping you from departing your current employees too soon.

How far are the two cities?
Not very far. Around 2 hours by road
Isn’t commuting an option for a couple of months?(or at least during the weekends) Then you/her can start applying for different jobs. Temporary situation till you both hit that year mark
