Dev hiring is a sourcing problem, not a filtering problem. The people behind starfighter are brilliant and I respect them big time. So, probably they know what they're doin. I am excited to see how they want to solve dev hiring since s

I definitely see the reasons behind this move. The computer vision department at ETH is particularly strong and that spills over to industry as well. There is Fashwell, a startup that is doing pretty well and they do ML / computer visi

I am a software engineer and I do recruiting in my free time. I refer people not only to companies that pay me but also to companies that do not pay me, if I see that there is a fit.

If this happened, I am sorry for this. I am not doing this full-time and I am sure that people fall through the cracks. I refer people not only to companies that pay me but also to companies in Zurich that do not pay me, if I see that there

In Switzerland, imported and unprocessed food is surprisingly cheap. Veggies are maybe 20-30% more expensive than Germany. Processed food like frozen pizza is expensive as a substantial amount of (manual?), well-paid labour goes into conven

If you're referring to restaurants, that is because the waitress makes around 4000 CHF per month; if you're referring to food in supermarket that is because the clerk behind the counter gets 25 CHF / hour and not 7 EUR like i

In Zurich city it is not impossible to buy property, it is just very hard. Everything surrounding Zurich is affordable also for software engineers. I was looking into buying a three room apartment in Effretikon (20 min from Zurich by train)

Zurich is not comparable to London, Berlin or Prag due to the fact that it is an order of magnitude smaller than most European cities. The diameter of Zurich is just 13 km. The city itself is tiny and the "city center" is even tin

Switzerland is the only country in the world that implements direct democracy. You can really feel the difference to the rest of Europe. Swiss more often than not stand behind decisions made by their government. When talking about their pol

When they decided to make Zurich the Google tech-hub in Europe I can assure you that taxes were not the main driver. One of the big guys at Google at that time studied at ETH and therefore knew the place is full of talent. Also, the Zurich

You're assuming that everyone with a bachelor or master in CS can just walk into FaceGooSoft after reading "cracking the coding interview". That is not true. The false-negative rate at FaceGooSoft is very high, they have a re

I think you confuse many things here. For canadians US is the better choice but for people from the EU who are not top 5% of the engineers, Switzerland is the best choice. Being in the top 30% of engineers or even mediocre means you will ma

Actually, I think I do mention the immigration cap in my article. That is even more incentive to come over now rather than in 1-2 years, when the immigration cap for EU citizens will be implemented as planned.

If you do not hold a Swiss / EU-passport, it is hard. A Swiss company can get you a work permit, if they can prove to the authorities that no other suitable candidate could be found in Switzerland / in the EU. This can be done if

You are right. Sorry, for violating the etiquette. I tried to convince the lead engineer to post it but since he failed / forgot to do so I did this on his behalf.

A tech job in Europe does not mean Berlin or London. Zurich has the ETH university and the biggest Google office outside the US. It is a great place to live and is the only place where net-salaries are on par with the Bay Area. Salaries are
