- Grüezi, dear developers!
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in Zürich? In this episode of DevCities, we meet Marius Colaciou, Engineer Lead at Ledgy and nature-connoisseur, to learn about life in the Swiss city. We asked Marius to share some of his favourite local spots and tell us about the culture and work life.
Join us to learn more about why Marius chose startups over corporates like Google, what he thinks about the dev community and quality of life in Switzerland… and why he calls the city a ‘sweaty buffet’.
**Special thanks to Jahlela Hasle, Timo Horstschäfers and Jules Henze.

Wow, Zurich looks so calm and peaceful. Very insightful
For someone who knew very little about Zurich, this was quite the insight. Thank you. 🙂
I've been thinking about moving to Zurich for a long time now, and this vid definitely helped me convince myself. Thanks Honeypot for always sharing HQ content ⭐⭐⭐
was very good insight into dev life in Zurich, what a beautiful country! and first
Jackie! Another Twitch livecoding streamer!!! What a surprise to see you here :)
I am studying in Zurich, and I can confirm the city is beautiful, clean and you can swim at the lake on summer.
Awesome video! And very good info for devs. Upload more content!
As a local developer in Zürich it was really nice to see a small documentation about the community and spirit here. If you can you should definitely move here 😅
do you need to speak german there for finding a job? im a swiss guy but I have some difficulties with german lanauge :(
@@LucieCodourey In zurich you should definitely speak German or English. Depending on where you want to work but German isn't required.
I've family living in Berne, but as a developer from a 3rd Country is kinda hard to move without the permission, and not many companies are willing to help with that. man but I love Switzerland, I go every year.
Where would you like us to go for future DevCities episodes?
Milan?
Really interesting! Great work Honeypot 🙂
Zurich is such a beautiful city! It makes me want to move there!! Great video
in Switzerland no one wants to be there, cos the city is "too big" xD
❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. ❤😁❤
We're so happy to be making you happy :´)
very nice video! Zurich looks to be a lovely city to live in! Hope to see a video about Brazil one day ☺ Hugs from Brazil
Abraço!
Uma delicia
Wow. Excellent video.
As someone who lives here and works in tech, it's nice to see some content created around Zurich as a tech & dev hub! Thanks for doing that :) I may be biased but you should definitely move here if you have the chance.
Hello Matty, would you be interested in events for developers in Zürich?
@@mohammad-afifhaounji6415 I think generally not, there are quite a few of these events already in Zurich. I suppose I could always be tempted if the topics were really interesting?
Exactly. How can we stay in touch so I can update you whenever we ave an event?
@@mohammad-afifhaounji6415 How can I apply for jobs as developer in Zurich?
@@mohammad-afifhaounji6415Mohammed, probably you should shut up and try to scam someone else. Now, go to read your Corán
I've always wanted to try to live in Switzerland!
It might take a couple of years, but I'll edit this comment once I'm there.
Looking forward to that edit ;)
Well done Marius :) 👋🏼
Grazie Katia
hi :)
please I need your answer..
Now I'm in London and I'm learrning development as self taught. I'd like too move to switzerland to work as developer in a year.
Can I ask you please if there is any possibility to find a job there, if i have no degree in computer and if I dont speake German or france?
I was leaving in italy too by the way
thank you
Its been bugging, what is that song he's playing on the piano ~2:17 ?
Hi Nico, it is Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1
my experience with honeypot was very interesting. I was invited to join a meeting with my "Talent Success Advisor (TSA)" but my TSA never joined the meeting, it was supposed to take place on google meet. When, I wrote to TSA that I am waiting. My "dear" TSA replied with "It looks like the calendar from our side did some mess and didn't notify me of our meeting!" haha how professional!
Oh we’re sorry to hear that! Hopefully you met your dear TSA in the end though?
@@Honeypotio no, there were some shuffling of dates from both sides and when we finally agreed to a date then that happened. After that i unsubscribed.
@@wasima4463 What a shame! You can contact us at hello@honeypot.io if you'd like us to set up another call and otherwise the best of luck on your journey!
Buna. Care au fost pasii pe care i ai urmat cand te ai mutat in Elvetia? Eu si iubitul meu vrem sa ne mutam acolo in 2-3 ani ca si programatori.
I am a software engineer from Italy. Can I work in Zurich with only English or do I need to have a basic understanding of German?
Hey Emanuele, this is what Marius replied in another comment: "Yes, English is enough to work in Zürich. Many jobs in software engineering can be done with English only.
I would still recommend once coming here to learn German. It helps to integrate with the local community, although many expats simply go by with English only."
Hope this is useful :)
@marius - What are you work hours in the day. I saw you said you go to work at 7:45-8 but was this a standard work day? What about lunch break and end of day? Thanks!
Hi. My usual work day starts around 8:30-8:45, either working from home or at the office (usually going there twice a week). If it’s good weather I bike to the office :-).
I personally like a longer lunch break, on average 1,5 hours, which accommodates for doing sports (running), practicing some piano or cooking when working from home. At the office I get to socialize more with my colleagues or have a longer lunch occasionally with a friend.
I usually end my work day between 18:00-18:30. It happens sometimes to work later, but at most once a week.
Working 80%, I have a budget of days I can take during the year, and I usually take Fridays off and have a longer weekend.
😀😀😀😀
Hello, how can I get a job in Zurich as a developer?
Hi Peter, you’re welcome to sign up to honeypot.io and we’ll do our best to help you. 😌
I challenge Honeypot to get me hired in a Swiss tech firm.
I hear people want you to look super formal at work and I'm not really interested in the idea of having to use a suit for every meeting i ever have
Watch Steins Gate, you will like the piano there
Serbia? Writen on map as Kosovo?
What kind of disrespect towards the nation, simply unacceptable!
$h1t, that's completely our fault for not noticing it :( we blurred it out, thank you for letting us know
9:38 I don't see how is that downside, less people less traffic, and there is still enough people to make friends
where can i contact you?? i wish to have a small talk with you
You can contact Marius on his LinkedIn (link in description) :)
