Everything’s fine here in Switzerland so far.

Except the country spend a lot of energy trying to defend Russian oligarchs in their banking systems and preventing Ukraine from getting supplies. A « neutrality » that somehow seems to fall a lot on the side of Russia.

Can I move there? (not rich :) )

You have to find a company that would convince the authorities that they have been looking for qualified workforce on the Swiss/EU market and were not been able to find anyone suitable in 6 months thus you deserve a visa.

Google still has some open positions in Zürich!

meh, just keep your existing remote WFH job, but have your home be in Zürich. You might need to work some offset hours to keep your meetings. Now, you're just on a tourist visa. Check it out for however long your tourist visa allows, and then if you don't actually like, it's a lot easier to leave. One step closer to being a digital nomad

Um... no, thanks )

I'm currently ~1k eur/month (altough remote), and I doubt that's a survivable amount for .ch. And a tourist visa is kinda not something could save my life now. If available, at all.

Well yiz only gave women the vote in 1971...so the reactionary backlash hasn't yet had time to work itself out.

Not exactly; in 1971, it was for one last standing half-canton. On federal level and for most other cantons, women were allowed to vote long ago.

Sadly, women rights are a recent development in many recent countries. In Spain in 1975, women weren’t allowed to open their own bank accounts, for example. There are many other sad historical examples, and modern examples too :(

Well, guess why.
