honestly very good advice, thanks for sharing,
Great videos, well put together, higly enjoyable and also always useful. Thank you!
Great that you have a lot of job-related videos :D
I think what you guys said here is good advice in general for anyone who is gonna quit their job. Great vid as always!
I like how animations in the video are progressing :) good job!
One of best content creators I have seen in my life. Thank's for such great videos.
Great video. Spot on!
I just went through this procedure before my 2-year mark in Germany, and I had to wait for 4(!) months for approval from Ausländerbehörde Hamburg, although my salary is much higher than the minimum amount. Thankfully, I started this process in advance, which cost me "only" two weeks of unpaid vacation. So, yeah, beware!
Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
I didnt complete video yet but I know this video include very different information and helpful. I just want to thank you. I learn everything from your videos and adapted easily in germany life. by the way you should open join section super thanks feature. I like your energy and videos. Sending my love from Berlin.
edit: I saw the your website coffee section but for mobile user and lazy user can easily support in my opinion of course :)
Hey great video, thanks! How would a person quit their new job before they actually start the job (let’s say they start in a month)? And the contract says the notice period is 3 months. What happens in this scenario?
Hallo ihr beide, I am really thankful that this video came on my radar at the right time. I just got laid off in my probation last week. I have not worked for more than 2 years in Germany yet. I read online it will be okay as long as I can proof the Kündigung is not under my control at the Ausländerbehörde and FEA. Do you have any insights on this and what do you advice that I proceed (since Termination from employer is not covered in your video)? P.S. I also work in IT and speak professional level German. Thanks in advance! :)
Hey guys, thank you for the great video.
I had a query regarding leaving Germany. So i went through your guide. but Im not sure what to do in my particular situation.
So I'm resigning in October 2023. My notice period is 3 months. from October till the end of December, with Dec 31st being the last official working day. I'll take my 20 vacation days for the entire month of December. And I'm planning on moving back to my home country by the end of Novemeber 2023. Should I do my abmeldung in November before moving back or after December? How would this impact my salary for the month of December if I'm already deregistered from Germany.
Also, I need the abmeldung to cancel my internet contract and to get early termination of my rental agreement.
In Germany is very common that you can stay at home after signing your resignation - during your notice period. Your vacation used to be included in this staying at home. I am not sure whether this is valid only for IT jobs where it makes sense because you can crash anything.
Yeah we would say it is highly dependent on your role and relationship with the company.
Working on IT, the 2 years mark might not be a hard mark. I've seen many friends changing jobs before the two years, some of them even on probation time. They need to make the appointment and get the approval you mention but all they require is the new contract (on IT it's hard you get an offer below the minimum required for immigration, but that limit of course applies as well).
Great content
What would happen to the variable pay / bonus when someone would quick at the end of the year?
Assuming he had served the entire year and serves notice period in the next year
That depends on what is stated in the contract, whether you can keep the bonus immediately or may have to pay it back if you quit before a certain date.

Thanks a lot for replying back. Appreciate your effort.
Great video! Although I have been in the same company for 3.5 years, i renewed my residence permit 1.5 years ago. In this case, am i still tied to that 2year contract with my company thing? or should i be fine when i accept a new job?
Any specifics should be states in your residence permit.
What if someone doesn’t want to take the unemployment benefits and just want to take few months gap? Is it mandatory to register at arbeitsamt?
Hello, is it legal for the company to charge you money if you leave after the probation period, even if the contract doesn't mention something like that?
What a video🎉. DO AUPAIRS NEED TO REGISTER(Anmeldung)????
Yes :)
@@simplegermany Thanks
You don’t work as a software developer anymore?
Would you still recommend someone to get a job in coding in Germany?
What do you do nowadays?
👍
Great video, just one time! Many thanks!
Do you know what's happening with Blue Card holders if a person wants to change the job after 6-7 months? I read that you need to ask (or notify, depending where do you read from) Immigration office about it.
But how would it look like? Imagine you get a new job offer officially (the contract) tomorrow, and then you would need to ask the Immigration Office if you can change the current job? When they approve, then, you would quit the old job officially?
Yeah, that’s pretty much the process if you permit is tied to your current employer.
Hey, thanks for the reply!
Do you know maybe how much would it take to approve the change? Also, would I need to make an official appointment in the Immigration Office for such a service?
That highly depends on your Ausländerbehörde. Mark, another Smoothler mentioned here in another comment that it took him 4 months to get the approval.
Thanks again for the feedback, really much appreciate it!
Have lovely day.
What if I have Blue Card? Do I still need to wait two years in order to change my job?
It depends on what it says on the Blue Card or additional paper if you have one. If it is tied to the employer or not is what's relevant.
Hi, i worked in Germany for 1 year, my question is am i entitled to recieved a separtion/backpay and my tax returned after leaving Germany for good?
We have 2 guides that can help you with your question: www.simplegermany.com/leaving-germany/ and www.simplegermany.com/german-pension-refund/
As IT specialist Visa, and working for 25 months in my current company, and oh, by the way, already found a new employer with slightly better salary.(Not a blue card holder),his a friend of mine btw 😁, will it be hard to change employer at this point? Been in germany for 4 years and my 2nd time changing company(1st was only 1 year) and it took me 6 months to get the new visa. My current visa is valid till 2026.
Sorry we can’t give personal immigration advice. You need to speak to your Ausländerbehörde.
please make a video regarding the exploitation of people at work in Germany, especially in delivery companies where they treat people like slaves. how to report and where to report without losing your job. Thank you
Ich dachte die gesetzliche Kündigungsfrist ist immer ein Monat zum 15 oder Ende des Monats. Zwei Monate hab ich noch nie gesehen. Nur wenn man gekündigt wird
Kommt ganz drauf an wie lange man in der Firma gearbeitet hat.
@@simplegermany sicher dass es nicht nur so ist wenn der Arbeitgeber kündigt? Paragraf 622 BGB Satz 1 gilt ja allgemein aber Satz zwei nur für Arbeitgeber. Selbst Satz 6 sagt ja nur Vertragliche Vorgaben. Daher versteh ich nicht, wenn ich kündige und länger als 5 Jahre bei der Firma arbeite, warum ich zwei Monate bleiben soll. Habt ihr. Eine andere Quelle?
Thank you for the video. I think you‘ve forgotten to mention whether if it's needed to pay the health insurance or not, in case someone was going to quit work and stay unemployed for a while.
That depends whether you have the right to claim unemployment benefits. We have a detailed guide on it: www.simplegermany.com/unemployment-benefits-germany/ If you get unemployment benefits, the government also covers your health insurance.
Congratulations on your channel girls, i appreciate your efforts 👏... But ... I suggest that Jenn does the explanation because it has a clear & smooth English, instead of Yvonne that has a very bad accent wich makes also the words sound choppy. Just a suggestion, no offense but i want you girl to improve ❤
