Frequently Asked Questions
How do Swiss work permits work for non-EU candidates?
Quotas apply to non-EU work permits (B and L categories), so employers must prove no EU candidate is available. Specialists in tech and finance are hired regularly under this route. EU/EFTA citizens register through a simpler process.
Are Swiss salaries really that high?
Yes — mid-level software engineers earn CHF 110,000–150,000/year; senior roles in Zurich reach CHF 160,000–230,000. Pay is similarly high in pharma, banking and consulting.
What is the cost of living in Switzerland?
Highest in Europe. Expect CHF 2,500–4,500/month for a 2-bedroom flat in Zurich or Geneva, and groceries roughly 50–80% more than neighbouring countries. Net take-home is still exceptional.
Do I need to speak German or French?
For tech and international finance in Zurich, English alone is usually fine. Geneva uses French; service-facing and government-facing roles across Switzerland benefit from the regional language.
