I saw that place 'advertised' in FT about a year ago and it looked REALLY dodgy to me - I'd be surprised if it was still in operation (if it ever was...)
I've already posted my 2,000,000 reales worth (very old Spanish currency worth diddly squat now) in the European forum, but I'm glad to see Seņor Sheehan is getting more pertinent advice here.
I can vouch for everything that
alanw has said as being completely realistic. It's probably one of the best 'case studies' you could have to give youa realistic expectation. I was thinking about this last night, and you are actually in competition with a lot of supremely highly skilled Argentinians for IT positions. (They came over not so long ago when the economy there went down the pan).
