The wife has been offered a teaching position in a British school in Cologne. We're heading over in about ten days to have a look to see if she likes the school and to see if we like that part of Germany.
Unfortunately I like my job in Aberdeen a great deal (pays well, work interesting and good people), so what I was thinking about would be to do alternate a few months work in Germany with a few months in Aberdeen for a year or so.

What's the state of the market for IT folk over there? Especially those with poor German . My skills are implementing and maintaining AD/Exchange infrastructure. Any recommended job agencies?

(According to Autoroute, the Nurburgring is about 50miles south of Cologne - should soften the blow )
