Moving to Switzerland is easy, isn't it?
You heard Switzerland is one of the richest and happiest countries in the world.
You like the idea of a liberal country where bureaucracy is slim and taxes are not only low but also well-spent.
A country where becoming a freelancer requires
just a few pieces of paper
and (spoiler alert) bureaucrats actually seem to care about your issues.
In other words, living here sounds way too good and you would like to
give it a try.
But you don’t know how.
How do you find a job in Switzerland?
How do you win the developer interview?
How do you find an apartment, and where should you live?
You need help with:
Switzerland is a Confederation of small states called Cantons, which means that everywhere you go, rules and taxes are different
Housing
Your ideal new home could be where you least expect it to be
Banking and insurances
You can save tons of money if you know which ones are best for you
Taxes
The right mix of residency and workplace decides how much you have left at the end of the month
Paperwork
An EU/EFTA citizen has a different journey than someone who is not
Let’s face it: Relocation is difficult, time-consuming and mistakes cost you ten thousands.
Have you ever built a computer with your own hands?
Maybe you did. Now would you also build your own car?
While that may sound like fun, chances are it's going to cost you a lot of money with underwhelming results in the end.
When you move to Switzerland, you could waste thousands of Swiss francs in your first couple of years by ...
- Accepting a low salary because you do not know the job market
- Moving to the wrong city, wasting money on rent and taxes
- Buying the wrong insurance or leaving out the one you really needed
- Wasting many hours with trying to figure out how to convert your driving license
- Signing up with the big bank next door, instead of the best one
- The list goes on
99% of recruiters won't help you by the way. They do not get paid to help you with relocation.
