This is the unfortunate reality in German academia. Most scholars have to drop out, but usually they are not welcome in other places. If you're an international researcher (this is my case), the situation is even more tough & options for employment outside of science are very [extremely] limited.
German academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna
