Should I just kill myself? When they asked me how much I want I always said 50k € (near Munich) which is about $60k Should I just cut that down to 40k €? I am running out of time here and really need to get a job soon
Just get a job as an underground utilities worker. No experience needed and you'll make about 50k a year

English seems good, move to USA

BSC in comp sci? 50k € feels a lot (even for germany)...
UK itd be like £25k though. 40k € is good.

you fell for the CS meme, that's why. Market is saturated and EXTREMELY competitive.
You can start looking at different areas of the technical spectrum too, healthcare and automation for example.
40k€ entry level is surely a better target anyway, you are literally a 0 experience neet right now. After that you can move on to some other job.
Take also into consideration the work-training programmes big German companies put out, Siemens offered me a 35k€/y job with classrooms being 30% of the time in the renewable sector, and all I hold is an IT high school degree + automation maintenance certificate.

Uni oder FH?

You seem to be expecting a salary that is not commensurate with your level of experience (fresh graduate, i.e none) Lower your salary expectation (35k perhaps), get 1 year experience then you can avail of opportunities for higher salaried jobs.

Ian Harris
Thanks for the answer. I'm gonna try that.

if you have a CS degree then look into jobs that you can do remotely and then look at a wider geographical location or even international, I know plenty of people here in the US with CS degrees that work from home.
