Isn’t Zurich horribly expensive, like the rest of Switzerland? I went to Geneva once and the prices of things struck me compared to what we have in Paris, France (which is already a pretty expensive city).
- matttproud 9y agoConsider what you're paid in Zürich. That salary buys you far more here than anywhere else — especially when you compare tax efficiency to its neighboring countries. It's clean, society functions well, and people are kind, etc. You don't find this Goldilocks Zone everywhere. Compared to the U.S., where I am originally from, I couldn't pay any amount of money to get what I have here.
- ucaetano 9y agoYou can work in Zurich and live in Southern Germany, where you can buy a 1-2BR apartment for <200k Euros. Your commute time will rage from 55min to 1h15min.
- ephimetheus 9y agoI live in Geneva, and it's horribly expensive. The living costs as well as rents are insanely high. The wages are higher as well though. The worst thing is if you're paid in Euros and have to convert them to Swiss francs for spending
- s3nnyy 9y agoWhy would you get paid in euros? No tech company I know would do that.
