- hiou 10y agoYes
- chrisper 10y agoYes to which part?
- Annatar 10y agoNo, unless you're in a medical profession or German, or both. Try applying for a job in Switzerland and you will get so much pre-canned refusal correspondence that your head will spin. The country is overcrowded and the Swiss are not thrilled about having foreigners in their country, unless they absolutely have no choice, and even then they secretly hate it. As far as they're concerned, if you're very rich you're welcome to buy property or drop your money into Switzerland, and you're very welcome to come visit as a tourist, but everyone should stay where they come from, no-matter-what.
- misja111 10y agoI don't know about other area's, but as a developer it is well doable to get a job in Switzerland. What you're saying about the Swiss hating foreigners is definitely not true, I would even say the opposite. But the competition for IT jobs is a bit more tough than in some other countries in the EU. I don't know why that is, maybe it's because of the outflow of the ETH or maybe it's just that Swiss jobs are so popular with foreigners.
