Hi Daniel, Hope you are well. I've got very excited when I saw this video and realised it was recorder in city of Lausanne. I am moving there this October, I am a Web Developer as well. Looking for a job in Switzerland now. Would you have maybe any advice for me how to find a job as a Web Dev over there or could help in any other way? Literally anything helps! Thanks a lot! My best, David

[@daniellaerachannel]

Hey buddy so glad you landed on my video and appreciated it. Swiss market is so damn full of opportunities so just take your chance and seize the opportunity you find. There are tons of companies recruiting for full stack devs or backend or front. Don’t be afraid to make opportunities to happen and be active on LinkedIn is the best way. Hope it will help and I wish all the best!

Looks great! How far is your home from the office? Is it expensive to maintain a car there?

[@daniellaerachannel]

Having a car is a bit expensive especially big ones but it depends also the usage. I prefer having a train subscription that way I can travel in Switzerland without limit.

[@alon2612]

what time do you usually need to come to work?6:00am train seems really early lol

Sometimes I take the train at 7:30 for being in workspace at 8:30. That morning you saw was particular for taking video shooting since in the early morning there aren’t too much people around

Nice video! I used to travel to Switzerland (from NL) quite often to visit my girlfriend in Zurich. The SBB tram/train network came in very handy. I saw that your code was related to smart contracts. Do you work in the blockchain space?

[@daniellaerachannel]

Aww no it’s just related to electronic qualified signature but nothing with blockchain. My team knows that it’s a pretty confusing name but it works for what we have to do. 😀 glad you liked Switzerland

[@linatroshka]

Thanks for the video! Is it typical for Switzerland to have all-male developer teams?

[@daniellaerachannel]

No I don’t think so. It’s just a coincidence that our team is composed by only men. For the moment the recruitment process is struggling finding both man and women

[@taskmaster938]

i know that switzerland using 3 national language, like deutch, french, and italiy.. so which language do you use when working as programmer in switzerland ?.. can i work in switzerland only use english ??

[@daniellaerachannel]

In Switzerland, the language you should speak in a professional context can vary depending on the job field and the region: 1. **German**: - German is the primary language used in business and industry in Switzerland, especially in the central and eastern regions. If you work in banking, manufacturing, or engineering, for example, you're more likely to use German. 2. **French**: - In the western part of Switzerland, near the French-speaking region, French is commonly used in professional settings. This includes sectors like finance, hospitality, and international organizations. 3. **Italian**: - If you work in the southern region of Ticino or are involved in businesses related to fashion and design, tourism, or finance in the Italian-speaking part, Italian is important. 4. **English**: - English is widely used as a business language in multinational companies, finance, and the technology sector throughout Switzerland. It's often the lingua franca in international organizations and academia. 5. **Romansh**: - Romansh is rarely used in professional contexts due to its limited number of speakers and geographic scope. Keep in mind that many Swiss professionals are multilingual, and it's not uncommon for business meetings and communications to switch between languages based on the participants' preferences and the context. The language requirement for a specific job field will also depend on the nature of the work and the clientele it serves.

[@taskmaster938]

I actually live in the french part but Zurich for example speaks german swiss and so on... in my team we speak english because other colleagues don't speak french and other don't speak italian so we have a common professional language.
