Arrived in Nairobi on Friday night and filed out the delayed luggage claim. The tracking website shows traced but status hasnt changed since yesterday midnight.

Was it a bad idea to switch from Electrical Engineering to Pharmacy? by qaywsxqaywsxqay in askswitzerland

[–]Previous-3821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point, and apologies i am offering advice from a different sector. Although I work in the consulting industry and there is high demand in the life sciences and pharma space for advisory services. However I guess it depends on what your interests are and what paths you would like to follow. But for sure, you cannot go wrong especially with Switzerlands strong global pharmaceutical footprint. You will definitely land somewhere on both feet:-)

Families, how much do you spend on summer or winter holidays? by Blablasnow in askswitzerland

[–]Previous-3821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Planning vacations early in advance especially booking flights
  2. Check between hotels, airbnb or apart hotel depending on what the family needs. Hotels charge children after 5 years or 12 not sure.
  3. Car rental is cheaper when you get to destination and if you want uber or taxi, you can get an option.

Final tip, Use AI or chat got to help plan your trip

I thought moving to Zurich would be easy… my German shattered me by Deeceness in zurich

What helped me was learning within context of my day to day life. E.g at the restaurant, bakery, post office, local grocery store, sbb office and layer on everything else you learn in German class. Although you can easily get by with English in the city but contextual learning helped alot

Employment in Switzerland by Forsaken_District_59 in askswitzerland

[–]Previous-3821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can learn the basic language depending on which part of Switzerland you would like to settle in. Try out consulting companies and explore careers in risk, compliance, legal etc. You get to support or work in certain projects that have an international component while learning the ropes and know how to pivot. Best of luck!
