    Thank you for your content.
    I have 3 questions though.
    1. What are the chances a swiss company will hire a recent Master's graduate in Information Systems with a bachelor in Business having a total work experience of ~1 year
    2. Are swiss companies open to discussing for positions entirely remote from Greece let's say?
    3. How easy is for someone who knows a wide variety of tools and programming languages with a decent portfolio to land a job in Switzerland?. The potential employer will recognize my efforts on acquiring all this knowledge and certifications or will he assume that having all these will ask for extra money and in the end he is not worth the trouble?
    Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work

    The "hire locals/swiss" before any other nationality is not respected in Switzerland, yes it exists as a law but come to Geneva where I live and you'll see that companies are filled with french nationals that live across the boarder and I'm not talking about them doing the jobs no other Swiss wants to do like for example cleaning, hospitality etc., they are employed in all sectors while there still are qualified swiss people for the job who are still looking for employment. It's become a huge issue in Geneva. But of course the french accept lower salaries + a big part of their salary is deducted for tax purposes since they technically don't live on swiss soil, so that's a plus for the swiss government because less expenses for the employer and the money stays well within Switzerland. Not everything is as perfect as it seems.

      The job market for international non-EU students in Switzerland's life sciences field is quite promising, especially after completing a master's degree in Switzerland. Swiss companies value local education and expertise in life sciences. Networking, internships, and language skills (German/French) can significantly improve your chances.

      The chances are good if you have the right skills and experience. Data science is in high demand, and many companies are open to hiring non-EU professionals.

    Actually not many swiss do restaurant, waiter, hospitality, construction worker etc. jobs anymore. These are done by EU/EFTA workers (often seasonal worker) or even refugees.

    • @CharleneCong
      @CharleneCong  16 днів тому

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that the cost of living in Switzerland is quite high, and a salary of 4000 USD per month can be challenging to manage, especially in major cities where rents and mandatory expenses are significant. In such cases, it's crucial to budget carefully and look for ways to optimize spending. Have you found any particular tips that help manage living costs effectively in high-expense areas like Switzerland?
