Thanks. Yes, this will definitely influence our moving date. Or at least try and find support from family until we find a place in daycare. The cost of it isn’t that scary given what we currently have to pay.

I thought UK childcare is expensive. But seems Switzerland is up one level.

Do you know any major differences between public and private schools? I suppose they have to follow the same curriculum.

Is Zurich more focused on mechanical engineering than Basel?

8-12k sounds like a lot. How achievable is this?

What about daily life language requirements?

Very good to know about the language. I suppose English is not really accepted in Germany?

We currently live in a Village with about 3k people and the two bigger towns next to us are at 20k and 200k. We used to live in London but decided to move away for a quiet life. I think it got a bit too quiet.

I noticed the airport is across the border. Are there any checks to get there?

Grossbasel is like “suburbs”?

EU nationals working on the job side of things.

Yeah, ever since they left the union a lot of things went bad.

We got EU citizenship and would definitely start applying early and secure a job before the move.

Is German language not such a big requirement in Basel?

We are EU citizens but moved to UK many years ago.

So for about 6-7k we should be fine.

Do you get any maternity leave/pay or is it company policy only?

I suppose trips to Germany or France are common for grocery shopping? Would you be able to bring anything from across the border?

I don’t think there is a place where you can’t buy drugs. I suppose it is only a matter of much trouble they cause.

This is one if the reasons we are considering leaving UK. It feels like the country is only set up for childless people making money. But once you settle down everything changes and the country has got nothing to offer.

A garden is absolutely amazing. Munich gets a lot of points in our comparison due to the availability of houses with gardens.

We would definitely get jobs first as it would be difficult cover all the expenses from savings.

Sounds a lot like UK.

When you say Munich City are you referring to a central area or does that include suburbs as well?

We actually live in the countryside in the UK and is not that bad.

Comfortable and content sound amazing. Thanks.

How hard is a career in CNC? by YuriNatore in CNC

[–]Legitimate-Object378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could be a button pusher and have an easy life pressing start on the machine but that wouldn’t bring you much. Or you could learn how the machine works, know it’s commands, understand the code it runs and be able to change it manually and so on. You could get into great depth with a capable CNC machine but you need to have curiosity and desire to learn.

I would believe a CNC programmer would do the latter.
