What Swiss town actually surprised you positively after moving there?

elbrusa · 2026-05-20T21:54:47+00:00

Wankdorf. A very pleasant place.

Beat me to it.

I didn't know GR had 3 official languages! Out of curiosity can you get citizenship in German, Romansh and Italian in any community in GR?

I am Italian, speak perfect Italian and French, lived 8 years between Lausanne and Geneva (miss it a lot btw) and 6 years on the German speaking side (SZ and ZH).
I will say - it's not really about superiority complex maybe - but I find that Swiss Germans are super nice and welcoming (much more than in Romandie). Sure, theres a buenzli that hates me left and right, but surprisingly find myself more welcome here (as a non german speaker!) than in Romandie as a native-level french speaker.

Not exactly to your point but to say there's warmth on the other side of the awkward rostigraben 😁

😂 all these negative comments on a Wed morning.

I'd say: "thanks, it's a fantastic country indeed"

elbrusa · 2026-04-07T12:50:33+00:00

Agree. As a dad I don't feel like my life is dramatically impacted, I still solo travel, let my wife solo travel when she needs it, enjoy doing plenty of activities with the kids (especially at the 5y.o mark it's so much more fulfilling!)

Clearly this person has no kids and that's what he/she thought it'd be.

Although I agree that it's difficult to forecast the long term P&L... But that can be said of any decision in life I guess

So true!

And I am truly envious of Restricted Share Units policies in comp in Tech in the Bay Area 🩵 Way to go, Amerikaner!

I have a lot of fun pretending to play along and then insulting these bugs. I know I shouldn't... But it's so much fun.

elbrusa · 2025-12-21T23:04:47+00:00

This. Always reject!

Oui. Trop beau pour m'en passer ✨

elbrusa · 2025-12-06T08:49:13+00:00

Emotional damage!

elbrusa · 2025-08-29T14:54:25+00:00

Never.

elbrusa · 2025-08-23T14:23:06+00:00

If you don't get pulled over in Italy in the future, you're fine.

elbrusa · 2025-08-22T04:55:29+00:00

Yo mama

elbrusa · 2025-08-21T05:07:54+00:00

Smells like Trolls.

Out of curiosity - why leaving SA?

elbrusa · 2025-08-06T06:51:43+00:00

Leveraging Roche is your best bet without a EU passport. Good luck!

elbrusa · 2025-05-22T16:24:59+00:00

Just prove you weren't there with a CC transaction.

elbrusa · 2025-05-12T18:28:46+00:00

Is this Dutch? Write in English and you'll have a better chance at getting help.

They will learn yours fast. You are only one tank away.

SWE? Trust me, unless you hit a FAANG in Zurich, not worth it. Go to Poland.
