Susan (Sue) could not qualify.. she is working in an office now.. the other Kiwi has been here 10 years and he's leaving...
Just some food for thought... the grass is not always greener.
I left Canada because I wanted to see something different and experience Europe. Don't come here if you think things will be so much better because they are not. There is bull!!!! everywhere you go.
People that have come to work here have had 3 problems. Language, experience and age. No expat over 40 has qualified in Geneva, expats who had limited knowledge of french could not check out and those who came from slow sectors or centres could not qualify. There is alot of traffic here, coordination inside the room is in french and things move very fast.
Yes the money is good, but don't come for the paycheck, as I said, you will spend half of your net pay on rent and insurances. Right now in Geneva, a 2 bedroom apt will cost you over 2500 swiss francs per month. I pay 3200 for a 3 bedroom. Another thing you might want to consider is that is rains almost 6 months a year
Message me if you have any questions, I have been here 2 years and can give you any information you need. Don't get me wrong, the people I work with here are great.. a really fun group. But it's expensive and the weather is terrible lol
