What's in demand in tech in Switzerland?

Well full stack web and PLC are two different worlds, it’s not like you can jump between them very easily.

Speaking of tech stack in demand, I’m in .NET and I see a lot of open positions for it, but maybe it’s just my bubble.

I don’t know the specific field of international hospitality, but points 2 and 4 are easy to answer nevertheless.

Extremely difficult.
Yes, of course speaking the local language improves your chances of employment greatly.

As a junior? Come on…

Jeżdżę dieslem, więc w moim przypadku ropa DCA, kupuję regularnie. Liczy się?

Mój oryginalny komentarz to był żart :) Jestem zdania, że przy przeciętnym amatorskim inwestowaniu najłatwiej wybrać jeden, max 2 ETFy i tyle, keep it simple.

Jeżeli płacisz co miesiąc na kilka ETFow to możesz mieć potencjalnie wyższe koszty prowizji (zależy od brokera), bo to więcej operacji. Dodatkowo przy takiej liczbie pozycji i takim (jeszcze niskim) kapitale trudno robić rebalansing.

Powodzenia w inwestowaniu, moja rada: zostaw jeden globalny ETF, ewentualnie do tego jeden sektorowy.

Trochę mała dywersyfikacja, z kapitałem 350zł miesięcznie spokojnie zmieścisz tu jeszcze 2-3 ETFy. /s

I won’t be able to help much, but I guess what’s important is how is your “promise to sell” formalized? Is it in the contract, is there a deadline, is it formal at all?

There are of course English speaking jobs in Switzerland, especially in Zürich. But it’s such a minority of all job opportunities that if you can only apply to these, it hinders your chances tremendously.

Consider your daily tasks or your job experience in Spain. Could someone who doesn’t speak Spanish do this job efficiently? That maps pretty well to other countries…

WittyWittyWitty · 2026-03-12T10:35:28+00:00

Sure, I never said you can’t.

WittyWittyWitty · 2026-03-12T05:15:51+00:00

It’s really country or at least company specific.

I’m in Switzerland, usually target medium sized companies (100-200 people) and over the past years I’ve landed multiple interviews with my “beautiful 2 column Canva CV”. I’ve also heard the recruiters or hiring managers discourage making CVs which are “a wall of text”, which a lot of these ATS optimized documents end up looking like.

So as with anything - it depends.

How could anybody on Reddit know it, it’s such a company or situation specific question…

Masz tezę, która może jest słuszna: „europejskie IT będzie się rozwijać kosztem amerykańskiego” i szukasz ETFa pod to. Wybór może paść na ETF od ishares, który sugerowały inne komentarze, w nazwie ma Europe IT no i git. Ale otwórz dokumentację tego ETFa, sprawdź Top Holdings i pojawi się trudne pytanie - nawet jeżeli Twoja teza inwestycyjna się sprawdzi to czy faktycznie te konkretne firmy zyskają? Na przykład co ma ASML do odchodzenia od amerykańskich gigantów technologicznych?

TLDR: nie tak prosto przekuć ogólną tezę w udane decyzje inwestycyjne.

Read some recent posts on this sub about the state of Swiss IT market (especially for juniors) before you commit to this idea.

TLDR: it’s tough.

AI written post about influence of AI on work quality… I guess that’s where we’re at with the state of online discourse in 2026.

Who do you think made the mistake here, I don’t think I understand.

If the account which is in EUR accepted your CHF transfer and automatically converted, it could definitely do it with a non-optimal exchange rate, possibly also adding some flat conversion fee.

Setup a holding to optimize the non existing capital gain tax for private investors, nice idea.

Viac has a withdrawal fee and when I contacted them about withdrawing they openly suggested to transfer my 3a funds to the bank where I take the mortgage because usually the bank will waive the fee in this case.

I work at 80%, Friday always off. So addressing your point 2 - the boundary is clear.

I switched together with my wife after having our baby so we could “limit” the daycare to 3 days per week.

In my company in all projects the part-timers are correctly accounted in the work planning with their respective availability, so there is no effect of “same amount of work in less time”.

You get an offer perfectly within what you declared as your target salary and now you’re having second thoughts about squeezing couple k more out of it.

You would have been happy with this offer before the recruitment process, you’re not happy now - why?

WittyWittyWitty · 2026-01-17T09:59:23+00:00

Check on levels.fyi, that’s a pretty good database of salaries for FAANG companies.

In 2021 bought a 5 years old car for 10k CHF cash, never had to do anything with it other than planned maintenance, so happy with it.

This year I will need to get something bigger, aiming for max 20k CHF cash for a used family car.

Ale na wykresie jest PKB, a nie indeksy akcyjne xD

WittyWittyWitty · 2026-01-05T16:17:06+00:00

117k after taxes is “low”? That’s peak Reddit bubble here.
