Did you ask if the pay is a discouragement to him

Try to get his point.
He is just stating that House rent in Germany is pretty expensive

If there is anyone in Germany who obtained his or her visa through the skilled immigration act,I will like to ask you some few questions;
*How many years is the validity of the Visa?
*In what skills can I easily get an employer who is in Germany?
*Can one apply for University study after working for a while over there?

I am currently going through this process. I have booked my interview and I have all the original documents from my company and the authorities in Germany.

I graduated from university less than a year ago but I always quote my experience from the very first Bootcamp I had after 100 level. I think that's fair because I haven't stopped building stuff ever since, and people who don't go to uni get to do the same. Let me paste an excerpt from the letter I usually use to introduce myself officially:
I have been programming for about four years, and I have worked with several programming languages, including python, kotlin, C#, Java, C++, PHP, and VB.Net. The concepts of programming languages that I have learned will help to achieve results with minimal effort and resources when I work with you. I am very open to learning, and I enjoy solving computational problems.
Some of the programming events I have been a part of include Google Africa Developers Scholarship (Android Track), Machine Learning and AI Bootcamp by Coven Labs, BuildForSDG Cohort 1 Cohort 2 organized by Andela and Facebook, Advent of Code, Enyata’s Project BuildUp, and some others.


Mostly I target jobs in backend development with Python/Django stack because that's my strongest area, or android native applications development. But, I have built stuff with different technologies and I sell the knowledge as 'Concepts of Programming Languages'. This is actually the name of a course I took as a Computer Science student. When I present it like this to them I am trying to say it is not strictly about the syntax, that I studied the major principles and concepts underlying these programming languages, I am adaptable and can apply them when needed.

lmao, my application phase ehn it was like an obsessive-compulsive disorder wink grin lol, I would be programming one minute and the next I have like 20 tabs open applying everywhere. One thing I can suggest though that really worked for me is deliberately building an online profile (brand yourself everywhere by watching what you post and keep your GitHub active). Linkedin is also very good.

And when you are contacted by one of them, take the interview process seriously. Give your very best... the projects they gave me to pick one and build in one week, I selected the toughest one and sent in my solution in 3 days grin grin they asked me why. Even when I was to discuss my solution with two of their developers, the internet showed me pepper. I contacted them after that let's do that interview again I will come with better internet. Since then, all my interviews with them I will carry myself from Igando to my sister's place in Ajah.

Try this: search for the best places to work as an XXXX in XXXX then go to each of their website careers page and start applying. This company that employed me I applied on their website.
