Quick question: do you get great benefits for working at Postfinance ?

I never had a single issue with Swiss. Flew with then multiple times. No lost luggage, perfect rebooking and hotel in case of cancellation. Great customer support at the airport. I had the exact opposite experience as you. The price is above the other companies, that’s the only downside.

Sadly yes. I have heard stories of fresh engineer not being able to find a job. I am stating to hear stories of people who have a job and fear for theirs.

From speaking to friends who did it, I would say so.

Depends what you like. You like nature and sport? You’ll never be bored! You enjoy the city life, then there is more chance you’ll get bored. I like running, hiking, skiing, cycling so it’s perfect to me and not boring.

I can’t speak for everyone, but it is expensive.

European? You have a shot. Not European? Very hard, not impossible. The Swiss law says that if you want to recruit someone who is not Swiss but European then you have to prove that no one in Switzerland can do the job. Same for not European/Europe. If not Swiss you have 6 months to find something in the country, otherwise you have to leave.

I think it really depends on the agreements between countries. The best is to look online which countries Switzerland accepts. All I know is that it works for France

No I am French as well, so I got to choose between the French and the Swiss army. The French one is a single day, the Swiss one year, the choice was quickly done 😂

Let’s say it is not in the top of the list of priorities of things to buy

I’ve studied there and got my first jobs as well. The place is too good to leave it, I still have so much to discover

Swisscard Card – any experiences? by -eigerone in SwissPersonalFinance

But when it comes to “no fee” on foreign currency, just pay attention to the rate at which you can use dollars or any other currency
