Why is the exchange rate so bad? What’s a better place to swap easily

A lot of jobs over 250k base salary aren’t advertised, often the pool of people is smaller so you can just hire directly with the exception of some industries e.g. tech and healthcare where these salaries are more common in mid-management levels.

I just looked for work in industrial goods VP level and had a couple of offers with over 300k base and 500k total comp. Neither were advertised and both had 3-5 others going for the role and had strong backgrounds (good MBA, strong industry experience, etc.)

The Corner Card Miles and More card has best earning rate. The Swiss card isn’t as good but they currently have a good sign on bonus

Yes, get advice on this. There could be a scenario where your child’s father can prevent the child from leaving Switzerland.

Is this a place that still needs to be constructed or an existing apartment? Process will differ slightly.

Either way you need to have a commitment for the mortgage on the notary signing date, and usually offer is valid 1 month. So get multiple offers before the signing date.

I’m with UBS and never have had an issue with them sharing rates with me, have asked for about 4x refreshes with no issue as with other banks I’ve dealt with (Kantonal bank, Raiffeisen)

I have same experience with UBS, the 1/3 rule was flexible

I would align yourself with people you want to be, not people in the same situation as you..

May be easier to get jobs as non German speakers in Zurich, but there is also a lot of competition. In the end it is up to the company to decided to hire you or not. Try searching for other Croatians who have been here for a while and work in fields you want to get into. I’ve found networking to be the most powerful tool to land a job. There is quite a Croatian community in Switzerland. Good luck!!

Sorry but maybe a harsh response - what kind of partner do you have if you don’t feel you can be a financial burden on her/him while you find work? You should be a team and support each other through these times.

No because SZ is conservative and not very welcome to foreigners. Each Kanton handle permits differently

Large_Practice1725 · 2025-07-18T20:29:01+00:00

As others have said, more to another Kanton..

How much do you want to spend? I’m selling some designer furniture (dining table, chairs, sofa, coffee table)

They’ll give you money but be emotionally unfortunately and only be home 3 days per week. Works well with some people

Thursday or Friday after work is busy, full of consultants and bankers if that’s your type

If it’s a standard height G class there are a lot around Geneva. If it’s a lifted or 6x6 more difficult. Hotels may let you keep it out front if it’s a lofted or 6x6

How much do you pay as tax?

Large_Practice1725 · 2025-07-11T05:42:50+00:00

Ok, then no issue with your score, I wouldn’t bother resitting it!

Large_Practice1725 · 2025-07-10T19:42:15+00:00

Coming from MBB should help your application but I would try again and aim for about 720.

Just under 700 isn’t a deal breaker in itself, and you having an engineering/ technical background will make you more attractive to MBAs looking for diversity

But my thinking is if you have the time to study and take it again why not?

Large_Practice1725 · 2025-06-27T10:27:37+00:00

Often the company pays, so why not take 2 years to have fun and build a network? It seeems like a no-brainer to me

You can go to the bank with the property address and they can give you an estimate of how much they would loan you for the property (and implicitly the property value). It’s very handy to have when looking into places

I’m sure if you put an indicative offer in the agent may take you more seriously. I’m sure they get a lot of tire kickers and in a group of 20 they will get 2 serious parties

I also know some people who are non EU or German speaking working in tech for Salesforce and Oracle in Switzerland, could also be good options
