grahamc Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well been in IT contracting (as a SQL DBA) for the last 5 months, not the best of work, but pays well.... renewal at current place is 3rd September. Got the the new offer yesterday, which was good news (with a decent increase).........however the really really really good news is that I had an interview on Thursday at 2pm. 15 minutes after finishing I had an email from the agent saying that they wanted a face-2-face interview..............in Zurich!!!!! Position is in Zurich, for silly money and for the first time in ages, I am actually excited about it!!!! Just had to share!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Congratz but after my try over in Switzerland you need to do some serious research if going abroad. Go look at cost of living etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 loads more cash cus its $#@!loads more expensive to live But congrats Congratz but after my try over in Switzerland you need to do some serious research if going abroad. Go look at cost of living etc Agree, yes its more expensive... but its about the same as living in London. Also its 20kms from the German border so I can just do my shopping in Germany We have been looking at price, cost living, etc. Yes, its more expensive, but its still worth it. When you can be 10-15kms from the city centre having views of the lake on one side and views of the mountain on the other. Oh yeah and they actually get summer out there!!!!!!!
