“The Job Move Studio’s employer module is where I finally got temporary housing in writing. The packing module felt long for a solo move, though — I skipped two worksheets and did not miss them.”Elena V. · software engineer, Munich
Notes from people who already moved
Mixed lengths, mixed moods — including one client who wished we had pushed harder on temporary housing.
Used the Arrival Brief before resigning in Toronto. Forty minutes on notice-period math, then a one-page summary I forwarded to my partner. Would have liked a second session built into the price.Daniel · Toronto
Household Settlement helped us stagger school visits so our daughter was not touring classrooms the same week I started. Still took three weeks to find a flat — that part is the market, not the course.Anonymous client in healthcare · Stuttgart region
“I booked after reading their Anmeldung checklist article. Consultation itself was calm: they marked two items I could safely delay until week three.”Priya S. · UX researcher
Case study
Lisbon contract, Hamburg keys, eight weeks apart
A product designer accepted a Hamburg role with a flexible start window. Through Job Move Studio she negotiated a two-week remote onboarding overlap, booked a furnished flat for month one only, and kept her Lisbon lease until payday two. The mild snag: her employer’s relocation stipend arrived after the deposit was due — the studio’s cash-flow worksheet flagged that risk early enough to use savings intentionally instead of a last-minute loan.
Case study
Couples move with one German offer
An operations lead relocated to Cologne while their partner job-searched remotely. Household Settlement built a 90-day temporary housing plan and a “partner network” week in month two. They reported the limitation clearly: we do not place jobs for trailing partners, and the plan assumed that honesty from day one.
