In Germany it's pretty straightforward. If you have a job offer as a software engineer, have a related degree and earn over a threshold which most experienced candidates will meet, you automatically get a so called "Blue Card" work visa which has some benefits over a normal work visa. If you lack a related degree or don't meet the salary threshold you have to get a normal work visa which requires evidence that no suitable EU citizen was available to take the job, but this is highly likely to be approved.
There are no quotas or waiting lists, and you do not have to be "sponsored".

- jonp888 4y agoI'm rather surprised you would identify an obscure visa regulation as "the" reason, and not say anything with available venture capital, tax and employment regulations, and the risk taking culture. In practice it's not really a problem. The labour market test has been relaxed since of couple of years and should not pose a barrier to granting a visa.
