> this offer is really targeting the students there No, it's not. It's really targeting the great software engineers and testers who are already working, maybe bored in their current job and need a new challenge, but who are reluctant to move in the current economic climate. As for OP - you're correct, we require you already to have a work permit. The bureaucracy and costs are too high, which does mean we lose some great people, but there's not a lot we can do to change that situation.
