Market-specific tips
Berlin candidates often list both English and German roles. Add NOT intern NOT junior to senior queries. Hybrid expectations are common — confirm remote policy before outreach.
Neighborhood and commute filters
When hybrid is required, use Kreuzberg, Mitte, or Prenzlauer Berg as secondary keywords only after your base OTW query works. Over-filtering early hides strong matches in surrounding areas.
