This is amazing. So, I can figure out the whys about Switzerland, but what was the motivating factor? My wife doesn't want to live in the US anymore and the power plant I work at is shutting down in a couple of years.
Your article makes Switzerland sound very promising. I live in the central coast of California. You experiences in rental properties in Germany seems very similar to mine in California, USA.
Hey there @scholaris ^^ ... I wrote a bti about the motivation to look for a bob abroad in the first edition of this series. You can look it up there, but to summarise it quickly: Very job situation for freshly promovated scientists and only temporary contracts, which are aweful if you have a family ;)
I assume that if you go and look up the job market, you could find something nice for you too. The Switzerland is eager to build up a good green energy sector, so there maybe something suiting there ^^
The german rental situation seems to be something uncommon. I heard about these problems now from many countries. Big renting companies are earning a fortune and seem not to care about humans too much. Social aspects are dimishing very fast, which is such a pity ;(
