Going to work in the UK is abroad for me nowadays (definitely not exotic unless working in Southall!)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Would recommend Luxembourg or Eastern Europe if you you are a heavy drinker.
Amsterdam or Paris for night life, South America of the Far East if you like to travel to interesting places. Vienna (where I contract currently) if you like a refined, relaxed lifestyle with excellent transport that is also a central hub for the rest of Europe if you want to be a weekend tourist. The Middle East if you want to build a huge tax free war chest in a couple of years (worked in KSA for 2 years and saved enough to buy 2 houses for cash).
Not been happy working in Italy, France or Turkey for no particular reason and would not work in Nigeria (took an AK47 bullet in the leg) or the Philippines (stabbed) ever again.
Would not recommend taking your family with you if you can get away with it.
Let me know if you need any specific info.

My views on this place have been somewhat tainted but I can see it's appeal. If both of you were heading over then I'd say do it - the lifestyle, from what I have seen, is good but it is hugely expensive. But if both of you are working you should have a decent standard of living. The locals and those imported to here who don't travel back on a weekly basis seem to really like the place. You can't fault the place in terms of safety and it's stunning to look at in places. I've only been based in Geneva but I understand that other towns are a lot cheaper to live in.Originally posted by BlackenedBiker View Post
Besides banking and financing they do a really good trade in pharma business....oh and nazi gold.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

There's quite a lot of niche engineering businesses in Switzerland still (often in pharma related work) unlike the UK where we closed them all down. Alstom are a very big engineering co and often have work available in Switzerland. I've been there for short term visits as part of a bigger project but I would consider working there.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
