nice video! I’m a fellow software engineer myself currently working remotely for a US company, but I’m permanently moving to Switzerland next month and going to relaunch my career there. Can’t wait!
Thank you Richard for sharing your experience. I plan to relocate to Switzerland in the near future after completing my Computer Science degree in Germany. Maybe I'll see you when I get there. Vielen dank 🙏
I will tell you how the work in Switzerland really looks like - it is a labour camp , this is a German culture of work. Most of people start very early (7:30) and you have 1,5-2h break so from mondad to friday you work, eat sleep and repeat. Selfish culture, team work is non existing and this hierarhy structure…. When I worked in Switzerland I felt like a slave, a worm compared to for example Norway. In Switzerland even specialists work like common workers.
@@Faceless175Its because in the end we are greatful because we are covered. But still its just accepted in our workculture to work more than 42h a Week.
Well the truth is subjective in this case, isn't it? I have never experienced anything like what he described. Out of the 4 employers I had so far, 3 were great, 1 not so much. His last sentence might explain, why he feels this way. "Specialists work like common workers". If you expect any special treatment just because of your title, you will be disappointet.
That is 100% true if your working place consists only of Swiss people or your boss is Swiss, who loves his old times in Swiss army. Things may be very different if you work with expats or exposed to international work Swiss people. So your mileage will 100% vary from place to place. In most places a good thing is - people care about their health and private time. Work at Sunday is forbidden by law. 25 days of vacation is a standard minimum. So, I would say that makes it pretty good and better than in most places already. Of course no-one is protected from assholes team members or bosses, but that applies everywhere on the planet.
Hi Richard, nice video. I wanted to ask you about people who work in Switzerland but live in France. This would be a very good thing for me because I'm already a French resident and it would make everything so much easier. Do you know anything about this subject? Thank you
Hello there dear brother, I've been wondering about job market for Physiotherapists in switzerland and also wether if it would be an issue if I'm not an European national looking for jobs in there. Would appreciate it if someone answer me soon.
How so? According to the global innovation indey it is the most innovative country in the world, so I'd be interested in what leads to your conclusion.
@@37wilde this index is not reliable, they take some 3-4 big companies in Switzerland who are innovative and then project that image on the entire country…
@@mifftiosan Well thats just not true, they look at many factors. But lets assume you're right. Why does Switzerland habe the most hidden champions worldwide in relation to its population and the two best technical Universities in mainland Europe if its the least innovative country in Europe? So far you said nothing to back up your statement.
I would guess that if you have a bachelor‘s degree in IT and are reliable, there‘s a chance. I think human resources is often quite superficial when it comes to CVs and not necessarily have the competence to evaluate you well, that‘s why they usually want a certificate.
hello Richard , im from south of France . Quite near the border to Geneva , i plan to move fully to Switzerland after my internship :) is there any way i can discuss to you about this , i could have some questions since you are a native from there , cheers !

why nobody points this out then? all I am seeing are recommendations of positive feedback on Switzerland. whats the truth?

Don’t know about physiotherapists man. It’s hard to score a job if ur not from Europe
It depends on the region tbh
Switzerland is in my opinion one of the least innovative countries in Europe.

@@37wilde you see things from a far too superficial and oversimpliefied standpoint
@@37wilde how can a country with a population allergic to progress be innovative?
Greetings from Mexico, Richard.
What could you tell me about jobs related to cybersecurity field?
