    I am between FFM and Zurich. Fed up. Need to move on but I've badly got into the 'comfort zone'. Good rate, fairly easy work, euro-lifestyle of civilised people, long lunches etc. I've had a couple of offers elsewhere but I can't pull away.

    I think the Germanics are lazy, bureacratic, old-fashioned etc to my eye compared to home but whenever you read productivity comparisons Britain (lunch at your desk , hire& fire, long hours culture) sadly and ironically performs pretty poorly.
    Tell me about it.

    I do exactly the same. I've always suspected that the Swiss cars jamming the Autobahns on Friday afternoon (yes we're talking 2 pm ) are Germans driving home "late" after a "hard" weeks work.

    Sometimes I think I ought to go back to the UK but I get stressed just reading the job adverts.
    I'm alright Jack

      That must be an IT Contractor world record. You have been looking for a few days and no contract. Incredible.

          Mine finishes end Jan - Know I need to get out of this one but dreading the whole CV interview malarkey - maybe I was meant to be a permie! Asked agency to provide me with a range of options instead of looking to renew - they say they'll only start looking end Nov - as I'm in a contract and it 'wouldn't be right' (i.e. afraid I'll skip out a month early!)
