DLN Hah- finally figured out your "handle"!! (and you need to try MY cheese fondue!!!)

imnomaverick & The ATC Groove as DLN says, good and bad points to working in geneva, as anywhere else. I certainly wouldn't recommend coming here without doing some serious work on your French. Even after 18 months of fairly frequent lessons before coming here, I still struggled a bit at first (and still get caught out often enough). Work is generally interesting and can get very complicated, what with CBs, mountains and winemakers firing off rockets everywhere to save their crop! On the plus side, food is fabulous, great skiing is just up the road and there are even a few places that sell Guinness. Depends what you're looking for.

EuroATC - sorry but you need to check your facts. At least 2 Canadian expats over 40 have checked out on approach and INI in the last couple of years - come to think of it, I can't think of any other expats over 40 who have come here! You also seem to have forgotten the Brits, French, Italians, Australians....... Oh yeah, you can call me a Brit if you like, just don't call me an Englishman!!!!

Come and have a look (and a beer) - if it doesn't suit you, at least you get the duty free!!
