Career Coaching for Developers in Germany
Courses won't get you hired. Practice will.
You've done LeetCode. Watched YouTube. Rewritten your CV. Still getting rejected. Because interviews aren't exams, they're conversations. And you can't practice conversations alone.
Are you underpaid?
"My CV had the right experience but wasn't landing interviews. Codingcareer helped me restructure the bullets with clearer impact and adapt the format for the German market. The feedback was specific and actionable - I implemented everything in one evening."
"Codingcareer hat mir ein ausführliches Feedback zu meinem Lebenslauf gegeben. Ich war von der proaktiven Herangehensweise und der freundlichen Art sehr beeindruckt. Das hat mir sehr geholfen zu verstehen, wo ich möglicherweise Fehler mache und was ich verbessern kann."
"This was insanely helpful thank you! It's my first CV so I didn't know what to do but I totally see what you mean now, and the point about HR only skimming over it is also something I will keep in mind from now on, seriously thank you for taking the time!"
"Your feedback helped me identify several weak points in my CV that I had overlooked, especially around clarity, impact, and alignment with German expectations. The review was direct, and focused on things that actually matter to recruiters in Germany. It gave me a much clearer direction on how to improve my CV and present my experience more convincingly."
"The support from CodingCareer helped me understand what truly matters on a CV, especially when recruiters scan it quickly. Clear, practical, and impactful guidance."
