This will definitely cause nutrient deficiency if you try to follow it for more than a few months... but if you added in some fruits and vegetables and you'd be fine.
Switzerland is an outlier in many aspects for Western Europe :)
And not only in terms of earning - look for example at benefits you get for having kids (amount of parental leave, cost of kindergarten, etc).
It’s like a weird capitalist Enklave in the middle of Europe. I’ll bet a lot of people thought of having kids in Germany or Austria and moving to Switzerland after a few years of taking advantage of generous benefits for having young kids in the former.
What is also common is to live at the border in one of those or France/Italy and cross the border every day. That way you take advantage of the higher wages and lower living expenses respectively.
Saying I am lucky downplays my hardwork which I put through the university. I hope are you aware of my investment or commitment to studies which got me here
For someone who works in finance, you should understand that the market for software engineers in Switzerland simply doesn't pay this kind of money. The average salary of an ETHZ new grad is 80-85k CHF. You can be the top of your class from MIT or whatnot, companies aren't going to triple their entry-level range to hire someone with zero experience, just because they put a lot of effort through university.
I know top 1% students from ETHZ and EPFL who then did PhDs and postdocs under world class professors. They'll probably never get close to 250k if they stay in Switzerland. Even after 20 years on the job.
How did you come across the job posting ? And also whether you are Swiss should also make a difference as to whether you get the job ? Whats your take ?
I highly contemplated both Zurich and Luxembourg because of my finance tech experience (SocGen, BoA, Wells Fargo, Goldman Stackzzz). I love Switzerland.
If the startups are just CRUD apps then are those defensible businesses? As per my understanding most successful software businesses have something in their tech stack that cannot be easily replicated.
maybe another way of framing it is that not all startups are software businesses, maybe they provide some other service that just happens to depend upon some software, and perhaps a bunch of other things
People forget that sharing economy always existed in some form
You ask your friend to drop you off at the work or your sister to babysit your son, it's all sharing.
I can argue such kind of sharing (without cash) puts other people at disadvantages who don't have friends or family maybe due to some disability.
Now even those people can hail a ride on Uber.
What's wrong with it? I don't need to maintain a list of friends which worsens my anexeity/depression, I simply pay and I am happy.
I can see why people who have social circle to maintain such favours will not like this because now a lonely soul can get same level of service from others around him.
What we can measure is fatalities
