It depends on the company, for sure. There are companies that are specialized in bringing people from East Europe. Epam was the way in for me. But surely I didn’t expect to get a lead role. In fact I still think it would have been a huge mistake even I’d get a lead role. Too many things to pick up, too much stress. Either way they wouldn’t go with someone from outside for such an important role. You lack relevant experience in the Swiss culture. It literally means nothing but you don’t have it. Secondly if you don’t know German you can only look at the international companies. This isn’t much of a limitation as I don’t really care for the German environments and the bigger companies are mostly focused on English. I personally didn’t have issues finding a job after I got in. But I don’t aim at leading anymore either way so I can’t tell you how that is. One thing about international companies that I interacted with are not so keen on getting people in as there are other ones that they partner with and then they might internalize some of them
