I have an advanced dual-degree (ZAB counted it as a single degree with specialty though :( ) in Cybersecurity. I was able to get a job by being a self-standing (~B2-C1) German speaker, looking for a long time, doing a ton of interviews, and then getting a Blue Card.

I know that's an unhelpful set of steps but:

  • The Make It In Germany Website is super helpful walking through processes and steps. https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/
  • Xing is a job board that I had great luck finding tech roles on. https://xing.com/
  • I applied for and was awarded a Blue Card both by being in a Bottleneck field and by having two EQF 7 Qualifications (CISSP and Masters Degree). https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/eu-blue-card
  • I speak German well as before I was 6, I lived in Wiesbaden and Darmstadt. So I had significant exposure, and then continued studying German through High School (Gymnasium), College (Hochschule and Universität), and in my daily life.

Thank you very much for your reply! I appreciate you!

This is true, I know I have no legal concerns (it's an image from fiction...) but the societal ones are my biggest worries.

Thank you for your reply! This puts me at ease! :-D

It all boils down to the use of the symbol in Star Trek VI. It was redesigned to be a black logo on a white circle and red flag to show the Klingons had deteriorated into being problematic... so the intent was to make the flag look fascist.

That said, it has meaning, history (in the series, not the real world, lol), and it was only represented that way in one movie...

Thank you for your response though, it is very helpful!

This makes me feel better. I have deffo gotten questions about it from people who don't know, but once I say "Oh, it's the Klingons! From Star Trek." I get a lot more LLAPs than people expressing concern. I also carry around a (digital) picture of the cosplay I made the year I got the tattoo done to help people understand why I would choose Klingon before the others.

I sure hope I don't radiate fascist vibes :(...

I appreciate your response!

All I know is that RS232 has options for Parity and various bitstream options.
