Why Switzerland? (2007)

Switching jobs take months before even getting interviews, bunch of useless people in all layers of hierarchy only good to believe the jumbo marketing crap from consultancy 100 times worse than Accenture.

And don't get me started on xenophobia or the place of woman in society.

You’re missing the point. If you have an opportunity to travel for work, take it.

He's living my dream. I feel trapped here in the US.

Make a move! or get on with the program. Whining about it online won't get you there. I swapped side of the world at 21 and never looked back.

All the German speaking countries have excessive bureaucracy

Their direct democracy has produced annoying outcomes, all in all its had remarkable outcomes for Switzerland

half the population lives in the greater Zürich area.

Probably 4 million people would disagree with this assemssment.

Switzerland has a population of ca. 8.5M, of which (roughly) 6 Million are in the German speaking region. The greater Zurich area consists of ca. 1.3 Million inhabitants.

A Basler, or a person from Berne may feel a bit offended, despite the fact that a lot of people from other parts of the country commute to Zurich to work.

Edit to add: THose are today's numbers. But the relations are not very different from 2007.

Exactly. Moving to Switzerland is only a reasonable option if you (and your family) are white.

I am doing everyday one of the best commute in Switzerland if not in the world e.g. I am passing through the Lavaux.

Your point?

I spent too much now to go anywhere else.
