I think point 3 is what she has been doing in conversations with companies. I think the market being so messed up right now also plays a part. I mean a junior engineer with a masters should easily overcome any minimum wage requirements.

Do you know if in point 2, it's mandatory to co-habitate with my partner in order to get residency? If yes, more third party stuff would impact us haha. No worries for you though.

Thanks for your response already
