I am just back from Germany where I worked as a permie for one of the big consultancies. I don't speak German and I found it to be an obstacle when I tried to get assigned on projects. I'd say 80% of the clients wanted to have someone speaking German. Obviously it depends on the role, PMs are expected to speak German, Architects can get away with not speaking it. Having said this there were many clients that didn't require German language knowledge at all.

It is if he likes hirsute ladies.

The first step it's to learn German. Pray that you will not have Germans complaining about your broken German like the British complaining with immigrants with broken English....and a German language test before entering the country.

Good luck
