Yes, the best options is to get a warm introduction through a programmer who already works at the firm. If you don't know anyone working there, try to network online first via twitter or email, compliment them on their blog on a topic that honestly interests you. There are many things you can do. I am writing a whole book chapter on this topic right now in my book "How to make more money as a programmer", which you can pre-order here on a discount: https://gumroad.com/l/cdrft/pre https://gumroad.com/l/cdrft/pre - or email me (iwan@coderfit.com) for personalized advice. I can also recommend you some Zurich-based firms that are hiring at the moment, if you want.
