Germany's Tech Shakeup: Engineering Power, Market Slowdown

🇩🇪 This video is an overview of Germany’s tech industry in 2025.
While U.S. tech layoffs dominate headlines, Germany quietly lost over 12,000 tech jobs in 2024 alone- a massive blow to one of Europe’s most advanced economies. For experienced tech folks in the U.S., Canada, or Europe evaluating where the market is headed next, in this episode of Where to Run, I break down how Germany went from a tech epicenter to one of the hardest-hit countries for tech layoffs outside the U.S.

▶️ Whether you're a mid-to-senior tech professional exploring market shift evaluation, or just want to understand where the European tech job market is headed, this deep-dive covers it all:

- Germany's shrinking tech job market and rise of offshoring
- What’s happening in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt
- Economic viability of PM & Data Science roles in 2025
- Why companies are relocating roles to other EU markets
- How regulatory risk and economic stagnation are shaping investment
- Freelancing, remote work, and the rise of tech entrepreneurship in Germany
