Originally posted by sunnysan View PostHeard it from a mate over there. Been looking to move over to CH for a while now, but family committments among other things have stopped the move.
He reckons its getting more difficult to find decent accommodation and that for work, the CH will (I suppose for obvious reasons), take a German speaker over a non german speaker in most cases even if the workign language is English.
That is only one persons opinion, so consider the viewpoint accordingly
Accomodation isn't too bad if you don't want to live in the middle of Zürich.

Originally posted by sunnysan View PostAFAIHH, owing to recessionarry conditions in Germany, Zurich is awash with Germans, so the accommodation and job market is a lot tighter and non-German speaking applicant s are now at a distinct disadvantage.
Not sure if anybody knows better, or can comment.

Originally posted by Francko View PostThe market is quite down in Switzerland too. There are not so many opportunities as there were 1 or 2 years ago. I am not actively looking but I check from time to time and the job adverts are way less than what they used to be.
