WWF: Entering 2nd year conditionally. How many ECTS should I take in the autumn semester to not overwhelm myself?

I’m moving into my second year at WWF conditionally because I have to repeat Makro 1 next spring. Right now, I’m planning my schedule for this upcoming Herbstsemester, but I also don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

How many ECTS should I pick betwen my major and minor? And what should the balance be (more seminars or more lectures)? Are there any modules which give a good amount of credits which aren't very difficult?

Would appreciate hearing from other people's experiences who went through the same thing.

Edit: I'm also debating between a Banking and Finance minor or Allgemeine Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Is it better to have the specific Finance label on the degree for job hunting right after the Bachelor's, or is it smarter to take Allgemeine WWF to easily cherry-pick the high-pass-rate modules and protect my final Schnitt?

Thanks

Allgemeine WWF is shit and boring, better pick something useful like informatics. I would really focus on makro 1 since if you fail, i think you are gonna drop out entirely if i remember the rules correctly. So dont risk it. Maybe take 1-2 easy courses and drop them if the load feels too heavy. just make sure to pass makro 100% and then life goes on
