A2 or B1 German for an IT job in Berlin, honest answers please

Every recruiter tells me "English is fine in tech in Berlin". Every person who actually lives there tells me something different. I am at A2 and deciding whether to spend six more months getting to B1 before applying, or apply now. What I want to know is not whether you can do the job in English, it is whether you get shortlisted without German, and whether it changes once you are past the startup layer into larger companies.
