>"US views the inmates as "criminals", Norway views the inmates as people who did something illegal." Interesting point you are making here. In Norway's case it's "what someone did", and if he stop

Sure but the Swiss are the most risk-averse people on the planet. In case again a world-war breaks out they need to be able to feed the country without relying on imports. That an important main reasons for subsidies. If somehow it could be

I would say farmers are quite happy in Switzerland being the most subsidised farmers in Europe / the world? On top, some of them own land, which makes them into multimillionaires the moment the land is turned from farm-land into land t

There are people in Zurich who live happily on 1500 CHF a month which would be 20'000 CHF a year, a tenth of what you're making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1oeSs67myA You might say "yeah sure, as a bach

I think what you are talking about are "Kindergrippen" (when kids are 2-3 years old). Kindergardens are public and free. This Kindergrippen-age is really the only moment when kids in Switzerland cost you significantly more than in

I think it is pretty normal for mega-corps to do tax-evasion activities, otherwise they would not be mega-corps.

I am running coderfit.com - a tech recruiting agency - after working for three years as a Python/Javascript engineer. I would say recruiting is like poker, you should be skillful in what you do, but it also depends on the cards you get

Which "other stuff"? Sounds like a cool thing you build. I would like to use this. Please ping me on my email address - it is in my HN-profile. (You haven't put your email in your profile.)

The costs don't hurt, because everyone's pay is good. (Example: Cleaning personnel and waiters make more after taxes than engineers in Germany...) and taxes are so much better than anywhere really. And you meet smart people mostly

The signal-to-noise ration and linkedin is surely very low nowadays. I am actually working on a article describing what I learned hiring and firing freelance recruiters who work mainly with Linkedin.

You are now the second person mentioning this in this thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15682260 ) I really had this case where a 22yr old open-source contributing child-prodigy programmer would be rejected at the

OP here Actually, I had drafted "Horror story 4: Candidate was rejected because he was better than the interviewer" but I thought it is too complex to be included. I might write a whole blog post about it. Thanks so much for lin

Well, salary negotiating is hard, it's usually the part programmers like most during my talks on "how to hire software engineers": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be...

"if no one follows up, it does not mean no", that is what I learned after doing recruiting for some time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be...

OP here. 1) The candidate implicitly thought he should use it, because I liked his stuff during our technical interview. But then the interviewing engineer at the firm did not take time to look into my notes. So it's more an example of

Since I am an external recruiter, I ask for payment on behalf of my candidates but I can imagine if you formulate it nicely that it might work out, too without having a recruiter representing you. You can argue that you are interviewing wit

Yeah but engineers usually don't, and that is why I try to "teach" them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be... "if no one follows up, it does not mean no"

The three onsite days were paid I hope? If a coding task takes longer than four hours I ask companies to pay for it.
