I am definitely biased: Besides coding, I source, screen, and interview software engineers that want to move to Switzerland.

I live in Switzerland and I used to code for a living. As an external, I hire engineers for different startups in Zurich. As I got deeper into IT-recruiting, I realised that candidate filtering at the top of the funnel is fundamentally brok

More people have degrees in Europe as it does not cost money. Also, the standard of education dropped and the exams are easier to pass. I know from experience that a B.Sc. in Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich (considere

Talk to the guys from "Ergon Informatik" for instance - a Java shop from Zurich. Many of their engineers choose to do home-office on Thursday and not work on Friday.

Switzerland is more company-friendly than Germany and other countries in Europe. That is all I wanted to say. I never claimed that I run anything although I plan to start a consulting business on the side.

If you need to hire software engineers onsite, I would not go for Switzerland, that is true. But it goes both ways. Switzerland is one of the few countries where employees do not need to work five days a week to pay the bills. Some tend to

Switzerland is also good. Very low taxes, high living standard, well-educated workforce, rule of law etc. Read my story here: "Eight reasons why I moved to Switzerland": https://medium.com/@iwaninzurich/eight-

That is a US only list; would be great to get a list for Europe, too. I think it is great to be a software engineer in Switzerland, partly because it is the only place where net-salaries are comparable to the Bay Area or NYC... I live in Zu

A bit off-topic: I lived in Munich for 20 years, now I live in Zurich and can't be any happier. Switzerland is a great place to work in IT. "HackZurich" is only one of the things that makes this city into what it is. Check ou
