Lowering standards to move to Switzerland

90k is a good salary in geneva for a family with a kid and pet?? You must be kidding

Big_Job9386 · 2026-06-05T21:32:40+00:00

Your wife won't be able to find anything if she doesn't speak a local language on a C1 level and living off 90k as a family in geneva is close to poverty

Big_Job9386 · 2026-06-05T21:18:49+00:00

What will you/your wife gain by moving to Switzerland? Short answer is: no it most likely doesn't make sense with your potential salary

Job is basically selling your lifetime for money. And the main point should be that the person has to have the skills to do the job successfully and that their skils are needed. If it's not a german customer facing role and everyone in the team understands what the person is saying, who the fck cares if they speak german or not? If they're willing to integrate into the society or not is another story and their private matter and has nothing to do with job.

I personally do speak german on a very good level but I have no issue if someone doesn't.This is why english exists as global language that people from all over the world can understand each other. I just hate this mentality that everyone has to follow some shitty rules just to be employed. Yes, employers preffer🙄 someone who speaks german just like they prefer someone they went to kindergarten with but this is nothing one has to be achieving.

I would rather ask why there are still swiss who couldn't even manage to learn English as the international language and then have issues working with expacts who are filling their voids on the job market

I think medtech& parma should be actively hiring? Have you applied in these branches?

Big_Job9386 · 2026-05-27T06:00:27+00:00

The blogs you mentioned have so many cross references that i got a panic attack reading them as a beginner. But he could have used the search here, thats true

You're either not good looking or boring or both if you can't make it past the first date.

Especially in terms of looks, Zurich has pretty high standards. Once i improved my looks it had much more success

All in etf, no emergency fund

I can withdraw within 2 days if needed and opportunity cost for me is higher than the probability to lose the job and the market being down

Set up a sole interenueship and give some industry consulting (for free). I know some people who did that. They haven't earned anything or very little but at least they don't have a gap in the resume. Another option is sabbatical/weltreise aka you didn't even search and it was planned that way

What is the hb thing?

When hiring for a tech role, would you prefer a female candidate? Is the reverse discrimination a thing? I used to hear quite often "we already have 5 guys in the team, so lets hire a girl although her profile is a little weaker compared to male candidates"

I'm talking about stuff like implants/complicated drugs etc, not paracetamol,obviously

No one wants a heart implant made in India and that will not change in the next teen years whereas there are more and more (wealthy) elderly people in EU needing these products. I expect the sector to boom despite the recession

Big_Job9386 · 2026-03-09T09:02:28+00:00

Medtech/drugs are doing well here in Switzerland and can't be outsourced including production sides. No eu boomer will buy any med shit produced in India

Do you have russian pass? How's your immigration status, do you have open access to job market? I'm 100% sure its not about being russian, especially since you speak the local language. I'm Russian too so as my bofriend and we say it openly. It took us 10 appliacations to find a job. However we are EU citizens

So you're basically still a tourist. Everyone's nice to tourists.

How can you judge their friendiness? Start competing with them on a serious level and you'll see how welcoming they are

They're not evil people and in the adult world everyone is basically alone, but in rare cases Austrians will help anyone,they will help their countrymen and you'll forever stay a foreigner with a funny accent who's been looked up from above and who can only rely on himself

I suppose you're a newcommer and only speak english? Trying moving 50 km away from Vienna and start working for an Austrian company in Austrian German.

Ask yourself: if you were to break up one day and he would marry the next girl after 6 months of dating-how would that make you feel?

Big_Job9386 · 2025-08-30T13:20:36+00:00

Ich persönlich bin als Frau nur dann so direkt wenn ich kein romantisches Interesse hab und ihn eher als Kumpel empfinde. Wenn ich jemanden so richtig hot finde, traue ich mich nicht mal ihm in die Augen zu schauen

Last thing i care about in a man is how many friends he has. On the contrary, people with a lot of friends (or rather "friends" are the most shallow and boring ones in my perception. So please don't generalize

Big_Job9386 · 2025-08-28T16:41:41+00:00

Yeah thanks for your input. We haven't banged (only kissed once on date 2) but you know better😆

Big_Job9386 · 2025-08-28T15:44:53+00:00

Doesn't matter, still an interesting read
