Zurich?!?!?

Post by **Benn** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 11:10 am

I've got an interview for a decent position in an investment company over there, however I know nothing about the place, having never been.

I'd visit before I accepted anything I'm sure, but I still know nowt about the place.

So, anyone know much about it?

p.s. This site was great and in no way would influence my decision. Honest.

Zürich - hmm ....

i guess you may find it a bit strange there, but its a nice place.
Switzerland is a very rich country, so i guess your wages will
adapt to that - because Zürich is expensive.

Its nice and clean and people want it so - and they also look
at everything beeing in order. Public life is the same - so
missbehaving gets you in troubble easyly and people judge
over you according to your behavior. Its all very polite there.

Public life is not very hectic and even behind the office-walls
things often are a bit calmer than in other countries.

Also the Swiss people are quite proud of their country and don't
really enjoy jokes or badmothing it - they also tend to be suspicious
towards anything comming from the outside of switzerland, except
money probably

I havent been to Zürich that much, but a few times and more often
in Basel - wich is not much different. Been there for business mostly,
so thats where my experience comes from.

Hope this helps a bit, though its all my very own personal view

P.S. For Infos about women, nightlife, drugs, etc. booring me is the
wrong adviser - so i fear you need to wait for somebody cool on that.

Expensive and a bit dull. Lots of gay bars so you'll fit right in ^^

Extremely well, the job seems very good, excellent benefits, even better pay than I thought.

He thought my CV was excellent and had everything they're looking for, and he almost wanted to offer me the job on the spot.

So yeah, pretty good
