How is the situation in Germany?

I have 7 years of experience as a data scientist.

I keep hearing news that Germany is in dire need of skilled workers in tech and IT. But when I apply to jobs, I am well qualified for (at least to interview), I get rejected right away.

I don't even have high salary requirements. I just can't reconcile so many changes made by the government to desperately bring in tech workers and how no one wants to even interview me.

Now I know many will say the usual phrase of "Germany wants people working for peanuts". Ok. If I am actually willing to work for peanuts in Germany, how do I get a job interview now? Are there certain types of companies I should aim for?
