Hello Aerodramaticist,
How did you manage to find 135 companies? I have been applying for almost a year already. I haven't been counting but I don't expect the number to be so high! I haven't tried a lot of French or German speaking countries because I think I have no any chances there. I thought situation in Germany was one of the best actually compared to other countries. I saw adds even without TR there. Usually I don't even get rejection letters
I have seen some movement in Russian speaking countries but nothing yet.
