Consulting FAQs

You can mix different topics in one meeting. You book a certain consultation volume which you can use as you like for all questions about your job search and being an employee in Germany.

You can use booked consultation units over a period of six months.

Individual constulations and self-study courses are tax deductible and part of the so called “Werbungskosten”. Please collect and keep all invoices and bills for your effords to find a job e.g. for flights, Visa, phone calls, relocation and career advice as well. If you have finally found a job in Germany you should read more about tax declarations in Germany to get your investments back. You can also use the support of a tax assistance union (“Lohnsteuerhilfeverein”), which is much cheaper than a tax consultant.

To get an overview of the most commmon costs, I recommend these two articles. They are in German but you can use the translation function of your browser.
