I considered immigrating to Switzerland at some point but the heavy emphasis on local languages (even in programming jobs) put me off. It's much more relaxed in the Netherlands.
- snovv_crash 6y agoDepends what kind of programming job. A manufacturing setup which hires a lot of trade-school labor, sure. A startup, less so. Also, learning the local language helps integrating once you arrive.

- joelbluminator 6y agoTake a look at the Rails jobs in Switzerland, which is mostly a startup stack: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?currentJobId=1891706097&geoId=106693272&keywords=rails&location=Switzerland https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?currentJobId=189170609... Quite a few job descriptions are in German / French. In others the description could be in English but they will ask for basic/middle level of German. And then there are the few (hard to estimate how many) that don't care for language at all. But when you consider that to begin with the Swiss job market is small, this means it's much harder to find a job there than a place like Germany / Netherlands / UK for an immigrant. Now sure, some people will happily jump through hoops because Switzerland is undeniable a high salary, low tax, high quality of life country. I guess I'm not one of those people :p)
