Non-German-Speaking Expats in Germany - First Month Working

For those who moved to Germany without speaking German — what was your first month really like? Hey everyone, I'm researching how expats adapt to the German workplace culture and language in their first months, especially people who arrived without speaking German and had to start a job almost immediately. Specifically, I'd like to understand what was actually hard, what you wished you'd known, and what tools (if any) helped you survive the first weeks. If you moved to Germany within the last 12 months for work, I'd love to hear your story over a 20-minute Zoom/Google Meet call! DM me or drop a comment if you're up for it. Would especially love to hear from people who started a job within their first month here. Danke!
