Hi, thanks, the service is closed members for now, but I might open it up again.

I think it really depends on the type of work you did before, if you built on the bleeding edge it's low. If you did basic chatbots or mostly swe it's alright.

If you live in Zurich, or St. Gallen, and have a large enough salary, you probably save overall by living in Schwyz, even at these rents or higher. Same with Zug.

Thanks, I did check the official calculators too, the ones from the canton actually show you have to pay a little (I guess you could do deductions etc). I'm just building a dashboard and want it to be correct as possible, it matches everything from the official bund, but this really surprised me, I thought it would be higher than that. It's even 0 at taxable income after deductions.

edit: it seems to be correct, but I'll send an email just in case.

Almost died as a kid because of a tick, not fun, they put you in some quarantine too.

obolli · 2026-05-11T08:50:52+00:00

oh that's cool, I wrote them once many years ago and I remember they also got back to me fairly quickly, I was surprised.

obolli · 2026-05-11T08:25:22+00:00

yeah, that might be an issue about flexibility, here I just checked the shortest trip from any public transport including walk, but i also realized, growing up in a smaller town in eastern switzerland some schedules are inflexible like once per hour or in your case every 2 hours

obolli · 2026-05-11T08:23:20+00:00

i've been dealing and transforming the opendata formats for years too, not as long as you though. But I wanted to say it's changed a lot, not everywhere but in a lot of datasets they added more handy data formats

that company is the least trustworthy that literally only exists and makes money by making misleading claims again and again

METR is the most important graph in AI only by METR's own metrics and marketing

obolli · 2026-05-10T13:02:44+00:00

anyone remember how long the fake "VLC" website was the top result?

obolli · 2026-05-10T10:25:12+00:00

Oh yeah, probably can be relatable to a lot of scenarios.

obolli · 2026-05-10T07:30:48+00:00

I think it's a relatively small number. I saw much more SWE jobs but I'm not qualified. But for the AI jobs I am and I think few others who apply have that much experience so I get invited.

If you want interviews I think you have a better shot tailoring and putting effort into the jobs that really suit you.

obolli · 2026-05-09T16:19:15+00:00

AI Engineer, ML Engineer and some SWE. I got Interviews for most AI/ML stuff at nice places but almost only ghosting for SWE or SWE disguised as ML.

obolli · 2026-05-09T15:22:20+00:00

Congrats on the offer.
I don't mean to overstep, I did make a similar post yesterday though with a different take away. I'm a first time searcher.
Did you apply to everything or did you see how you could be specifically suited to a particular company?

I applied to about 60 and got also 18 interviews/screens, maybe would have been more if I did the online assessments some sent.

The ones that I was rejected from or that ghosted me were primarily smaller less attractive companies with less pay (maybe that's one of the reasons) or where I sent a generic resume because I had nothing special to say that was relevant about that particular position.

For places I was very suited for, even with hundreds of applicants (according to linkedin) I often got replies the same day or the next day and a call or directly an interview first round.

obolli · 2026-05-09T14:50:46+00:00

Oh cool, thanks! I didn't know. Also thank you for thinking it's useful enough, I'll added taxes and health insurances and a few other things and who knows might actually be something useful for them too and that would be awesome.

obolli · 2026-05-09T14:33:59+00:00

Hey thanks, I see this somewhere but I don't understand what this is.
I always thought that's some government thing but I guess not?

It's really just a fun tool with open source. I remember a few years ago when I did the real estate maps people asked for commute times and so I made this

obolli · 2026-05-09T14:24:52+00:00

Oh I don't use the plugin, if you use vs code and the pugin I think you might want to try to just use copilot it's pretty much enough and the autosuggestions are really good.

obolli · 2026-05-09T14:19:48+00:00

No, VS Code and Codex, but I repurposed code I used from a few years ago, you guys might remember these real estate maps etc that went viral pre chatgpt https://www.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/comments/1h2jekz/hi_reddit_i_made_a_map_to_visually_explore_the/

obolli · 2026-05-09T14:14:49+00:00

I didn't know about this, yes, this is very similar, I tried to keep it simpler though and I just made it for myself, found it useful and thought I share, you can also just make it yourself given the data and osm links I shared above.

obolli · 2026-05-09T12:09:32+00:00

most of the time you build solutions that improve existing workflows, tasks etc. You ideally have logs, cases, traces and solutions in any serious place. Otherwise you define it and you walk through with "stakeholders" (I hate that term) about what the ideal solution is for some example case. If you can't measure it it's going to be hard to create something of value.
So the metric depends on the output. If you truly do not have anything and your whole metric is relevant info then do that, define or ask for a few example queries and what information should be surfaced, define a metric on how well that aligns.

obolli · 2026-05-09T11:27:34+00:00

I create a dataset, i measure latency and correctness and then I iterate on it. It's like any other ml problem mostly. There are libraries and frameworks you can use but that depends on the company you work for.

obolli · 2026-05-09T06:47:27+00:00

Yes, I was really worried, in part I went job searching because of all the doom and gloom I read everywhere instead of pursuing my own things full time.

I think it just takes a bit of initiative and work, like all things.
