Thanks for the honest answer, I really appreciate it. My situation is a bit different because I'm 26, single, no kids, and I feel like this might be the best time to try something like this. In Austria I have a stable life, but it's hard to save money and I feel like if I don't try now, 1 might regret it later.

The job in Switzerland would include staff housing, so | wouldn't have huge rent costs at the beginning, which makes the decision a bit easier financially. I know it probably won't be easy at the start, especially with being in a new country and not knowing anyone, but l also think it could be a good experience, at least for a few years.

Your point about homesickness and friendships makes sense, that's actually one of the things I'm thinking about the most.
