As an EU citizen, you have full freedom of movement in Switzerland — no visa, no work permit needed. EURES 2024: Switzerland has particularly high demand for skilled workers in IT, pharma, mechanical engineering, and finance. Swiss salary expectations are significantly higher than in Germany — median annual salary CH 15–40% above DACH value, but purchasing power is similar due to higher cost of living. Specifics: application documents in German (or English for international companies), but Swiss dialect in the interview is not required — standard German is accepted everywhere. ESCO: job titles sometimes differ from Germany — always read the job posting carefully. Platforms: jobs.ch, jobup.ch, LinkedIn. Destatis: cross-border commuter positions (especially from Baden-Wuerttemberg to Switzerland) are particularly attractive — apply for a cross-border worker permit.
