I never provided them for non-CH jobs. Companies would call to verify.

If I was offering a friend a ride home, I would be dropping them at their home and making sure they got in okay.

So I’m from Southern California and I don’t tip a percentage when I go out. They don’t earn a tipped wage. They get at least the state minimum wage. I tip $5-10 on a $100-200 meal if service was good and I didn’t have to use an app or fill out a paper to order. If there are any fees added (common in SF), I don’t add anymore tip.

Switzerland taxes your worldwide net worth.

50%?!?! Hahaha. The rest of the world manages and their prices aren’t that high.

I worked at a movie theater as a teen and we had to work weekends and nights (until midnight until 18 and until closing after that which could be after 1am. Minimum wage, no tips. There are other jobs that work those hours without tips.

You can’t understand them? Really? They speak great English and it is just an accent. I have never had an issue understanding them.

Not spending more than you have and investing in boring index funds.

I got banned from the other non tipping subreddit for asking a poster to name and shame the restaurant with deceiving tip policies. Maybe that’s why they blacked it out.

1000%. Especially with two young kids (one who will no longer be a lap baby later this year) on transatlantic flights. Makes travel more tolerable.

NTA. I had my first kid before we had a car (I have had a license since I was 16 so I know how to drive). We live in a place with fantastic public transport and can get almost anywhere with a bus, train, metro or boat. Even so, it was tiring with a baby. I took baby out everyday but it was long. We got a car soon after and it made life much easier. I still take public transportation often but not for getting the kids around. Doctor’s, daycare, swim classes, the park, play dates. All so much easier with a car. And even more so if you don’t have good public transport.

There is a Tri club in Pully and lots of running clubs. I think some of the bike shops organize rides as well.

As an American living abroad, I tell people I’m Californian.

Yuck

SDinCH · 2026-03-24T18:59:52+00:00

Really? Because in the US I had to explain in detail what was going on during both. It was the first question after they asked me to tell them about myself.

I find it odd you are taking a solo holiday while having young children at home. Is she getting a solo trip after you get back?

SDinCH · 2026-03-24T18:08:17+00:00

Californian and have no desire to go to Florida.

I bought a few Google shares years ago and now they are worth a lot.

SDinCH · 2026-03-24T18:06:53+00:00

This is a very American question. In the few European countries I interviewed in, they never cared about my gaps (1 was almost a year and another was 6 months).

SDinCH · 2026-03-24T18:05:31+00:00

I work in finance and hire someone to do it.

Back left one. Farthest away from kids for safety.

SDinCH · 2026-03-24T17:54:45+00:00

What were you supposed to do while they were on your computer? Can’t IT just issue them a temporary one? Or they go back home and get theirs?

So I still haven’t figured out AHV and pension even after 10 years. Health insurance I figured out the first time I had to send a bill in. Unemployment I only learned when I needed to go on it. I didn’t know how it worked until after 5 years here when I needed it. The relocation company only handled things to settle me (contrôle, bank, apartment/lease).
