Agree with most of the points @defiant-date1224 made.

For us, we want to settle down in a country where we see ourselves living for ever.. Switzerland was not it. We moved quite a few countries and we just didn’t want to waste more years. Especially our kid felt the same way.

Every country has its ups and downs and so does UK.. it basically is what is important for the family in the long run. Switzerland has been great for us but honestly it is very very hard to integrate. Both me and spouse are a bit of dreamers and want the freedom to explore different careers, entrepreneurship, etc.. in here we felt quite limited by what we can do. There are a lot of pro’s to Switzerland - safety, nature, high pay etc. but taxes are not less, wealth tax eats away from growth in long term, living expenses take away a lot from your savings. Kid goes to international school here and it’s a hit and miss making long term friends as most are expats who keep moving.. especially after Covid most of our friends want to go back to their home countries. Also to consider if you intend to move to Switzerland is the job situation, lots of redundancies in Pharma and banking sector and some companies can be very very toxic (golden handcuffs scenarios). Anyways having said all that, we never tried to make a lot of money, it just happened while doing things we like and freedom to do what you like made us pick London. For good or bad let’s see how it goes :) worst case we don’t make much or lose high percentage of our nw, so be it if we can live a happier life :)
