Boomed in Switzerland

...Accomodation isn't too bad if you don't want to live in the middle of Zürich.

anywhere near

Heard 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

It is indeed, they prefer German speakers mostly, though international firms don't mind English speaking living locally. Trying to find a Swiss job from the UK is more difficult.

Accomodation isn't too bad if you don't want to live in the middle of Zürich.

Hope you come back to Uk before April 2010 - need you to help with the UK recession with all that additonal tax you will owe to HMRC

Around Lake Geneva, they prefer English speakers over German speakers. Of course, if like me you speak English, French and German, you generally have no problem.

Moi non plus. Of course I can afford a hotel in Geneva during a Messe.

I read that in a German newspaper article in 2005 or 2006. Do you mean even more so now?

AFAIHH, 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.

The 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.
