Did you grow up in the US? I can totally imagine that people have issues adopting anywhere in Europe, as the culture here is not better or worse but just different. I have a CS degree from a top-CS school in Europe. I would also not get job

Could you also tell what you did in Switzerland and what you do now in this "developing" country? Power-distance or empathy to foreigners is no different to Germany, at least in Zurich. Switzerland can't be that bad as a plac

>> Only then I realized that the way people live in Switzerland is not something you can take for granted and in the end made me move back. I agree. I lived in Germany for 20 years, now I live in Zurich and can't be any happier.

"Calories in vs calories out" is really just Occam's razor in action an hence helpful. At least it was helpful to me to re-engineer my lifestyle from 10h TV per day and fastfood as a teenager to regular workouts and healthy f

Funny that you mention it, because I do have a punch-line that I tell obese people - it goes like this: "Eat little, fuck a lot". This is really just Occam's razor. Most people would feel better, if they would eat thoughtfull

I rent a room for 620 CHF, I pay 220 CHF for the obligatory insurance, 200 CHF for food (if I am socially forced to eat out I tell that I had food before and get a beer) and around 90 CHF for transportation. That amounts to more or less 110

I think this is very subjective. I am living on less than a thousand Swiss-Francs per month in one of the most expensive cities in the world (Zurich) and I do not feel that I am missing anything. I know, things will be very different when I

That might sound crazy but on a software engineering salary, you can retire before 50 if you get used to spending little on food, transportation and shelter. My most favorite online resource on how to live frugally is this: http:/&#x2

A company can get you a work permit into Switzerland by showing that they can not find anyone else: An employer has to show a couple of EU/Swiss-resumes to the authorities and point out how they are not suited for the job and how you a

Many people are fooled by prestige. PG's elaboration on it changed my life: "Your opinions about what's admirable are always going to be slightly influenced by prestige, so if two options seem equal to you, you probably have

It is all about the savings-rate. If you save 50% of your net-income, you can take one month off for every month you work. If you have a ~80% savings-rate, you can take 8-9 months off for every month you work. Most people can not quadruple

If you want to optimize for money, I would recommend Zurich. It is the only place in Europe where net salaries compare to NYC or the Bay-Area. If you are interested in moving here, shoot me a mail. Alternatively, check out my blogpost on me
