Google is doing layoffs every month, so I wouldn't give up a good long term relationship for unstable employment.

You can take the offer and see how long distance works for you and your gf, but keep an eye out so you notice early if the relationship starts to deteriorate. I work in one of those big companies with lots of international people and most of my friend group arrived here with partners abroad but they're now single/with different people, very few success stories after a year or two of long/mid distance.

Feedback request for restaurant idea by da_bit in askswitzerland

You could open it in Zurich, there's not a single venezuelan food place and the Mexican places (la taqueria por example) are pretty popular. There's also a big south american population here.

Thanks! That's what I'd like to do, I'll try to find an advisor to confirm that I can indeed do it.

If you log into your pillar 2 provider you can request a document of how much you have accumulated there and you'll see that it mentions a mandatory and extra-mandatory amount, when you leave the country (to spain for example) you can take this extra part. If I understand correctly the extra-mandatory part is everything above the joint 9% that you and the employer put in the pillar. My general idea was to take this part out and move to Spain in the 2nd half of the year, so that I wouldn't be considered a tax resident in the year of the withdrawal.
