I have read somewhere... that in Europe , UK and Germany are the biggest IT markets..Hows the market for functional testers in Germany ? Do companies sponsor WP if one knows German language fluently ?

Any job websites for doing a test search ?

Cheers
Sumit

Working language in Germany in IT is usually English if back office, front desk obviously German is required.

Companies sponsor non-German speakers but to be honest the whole process needs one to speak German to a high standard unless u have a German-speaking spouse or friend. Added to that there are still the resident labour tests to be made so i susoect not many WP's are approved in the current market.

Thanks Wanderer....does that mean despite knowing German, no company wants to sponsor any abroad candidate ?

No, all I'm saying is that in the current market local/EU candidates will have preference and there are plenty of them at the moment!
