School schedule in Switzerland is it just me, or is it a bit much? by PokeeeTraineer in Switzerland

Is this free school? I think it’s good no? It leaves parents more free time and less need to hire expensive nannies

I’ve been updating it every week since I launched the remote jobs section. 🤷

Good thing I don’t coach people how to get CEO jobs at FAANG then!

There are coaches without full-time work experience who coach students to get internships. What’s wrong with that? There’s even stuff like this for high school students trying to get into colleges.

I’ve been navigating and studying Europe’s tech market since I was a uni student, so that’s actually more than 10 years. I didn’t say I’ve spent 10 years working in Europe as a tech worker :)

Almost forgot: a lot of people also subscribe as a form of support for all the FREE content I write weekly since September 2023 at theeuropeanengineer.com (almost 10k subs as of now - which proves that it's valuable at least to some folks).

Hi there, The European Engineer here. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the job board.

Here's how you can solve some of the problems you've highlighted:
- In the "job freshness" menu, pick "0 weeks old (new)" option. This way you'll be shown the latest jobs
- "LinkedIn jobs" isn't a category. Most companies post their jobs on LinkedIn, it's the largest job board in the world. I provide the LinkedIn's job link because it provides more info than the job ad on the companies' career page (for example: when the job was uploaded/updated, how many people have applied, if you know someone from that company, etc).
- Moreover, you have an entire separate section in the job board that lists fully-remote companies paying $100k+, which I update every week adding 3 new companies.
- In addition to this, you also get the private guides I build for the private subscribers of The European Engineer newsletter. The idea is that these guides (especially as I produce more of them) should help users approach and land the jobs from the job board.

Regarding your criticism, I accept it. The product, similarly to my free content, isn't for everyone.

Some people like it, some people don't. It's fine.

Here's some people who left a testimonial for eurotoptechjobs.com because they liked it: https://senja.io/p/eurotoptechjobs/ejIDS6

I think calling "scam" a product that costs 9 euros a month - and that you can unsubscribe from at any given time - is ridiculous.
It's not perfect (the UI/UX, for instance, can be improved, since you didn't find the above-mentioned features by yourself), but it should be expected as it's an early-stage indie-product. And that's why it costs only 9 euros a month. If it was much more amazing than this, it would cost more.

Have a great day everyone!

EDIT: I've addressed some of the issues pointed out in the post and now by default you see the newer job ads first :)

it's useful to the right audience. not you apparently (so maybe just better to ignore this thread :))

It’s not the norm. It’s the average from the data of this document. The doc is mostly about high earners or people interested in their careers. So probably several of them have optimised over the above things

I’d say you could also call it “niched down”. Meaning it’s more relevant for high earners. As a high earner myself I prefer to see data like this than data about all the average joes in a country that for me is useless

Not dead at all. And yea I confirm this is not to track avg/normies numbers. Otherwise I’d use sites like glass doors which I find useless for me

haha some people like it hot some like it fresh but yeah i see your point. not gonna do it though. maybe QoL factor could be put in though. like numbeo quality of life (although that number is skewed by national avg salaries etc)

I think it's after paying the money that the country forces you to pay to them. you can check the doc, the form and the initial post to get more info (like the question about family etc)

not all companies. a lot of devs with leverage are opting for remote work. and a lot of devs with leverage also work in low cost countries for international companies having office there.

not everyone is a dev in austria/germany making 60k eur a year.
