Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group is too slow. For anything you wanna do inside the organization, 12 months of tenure is required. Even for promotions its the same no matter hoew exceptionally you perform.
Whereas Bain & Company has no such minimum tenure requirement. My colleague got promoted in 4th months of joining right out of college.
Give me 1 reason why I should accept the offer from BCG?

Lol same here.... Impfapartheid and complete covidiocy heading our way October 11 :-)
Impfapartheid? Oh no! How dare they demand we do our part for public health! You are required to have normal vaccines as a child just to attend school.
Kpmg is recruiting across Advisory in Zurich
Plenty of jobs here🇨🇭 Just be vary that Swiss work culture is different from the German one. I also recommend never to tell that you came to CH because of the money. Mistake many Germans do and reason why they are not the most popular expat group.
In terms of work culture it’s serious across the country but then you can imagine that depending on the language region people lean towards certain traits from their „big“ neighbors (DE, FR, IT). In terms of the German speaking part I would say that people do not live to work. They take pride in their leisure time and if you talk only about work with a Swiss (as Germans tend to often), you will bore your counterpart. As I worked in both, CH and DE, I personally enjoy the Swiss work culture more.
It’s a bit more rough in terms of legal framework though. Less maternity and paternity time, when you get laid off its no fun and the Swiss government is quite aggressive in putting you back into the labor market. I’d say it favors the employer more than the employees, although there’s been some positive developments recently.
Vacation days are standard 25 days, work time is 40 hours and overtime only counts from 45 hours onwards. Probation is usually 3 months and it’s much easier to fire people than in DE (coming to my previous point).
Last point is language: unless you do the effort to learn the local dialects, you better get used to be pointed out and looked at as foreigner. E.g. a second generation immigrant who speaks Swiss German will rarely be pointed out (much less than „Ausländer“ are pointed out in Germany I’d even say). But if you don’t speak a Swiss dialect (of whatever local language) you will always feel a bit as an outsider. If you don’t speak any of the official languages and mostly English (as many people do in Zurich) you’re actually really fine off. It doesn’t make sense but I think there is just so many high German and French/French speakers who immigrated that people are a bit tired and there is nothing interesting about it anymore.
Bist du auch aus München ? ;)
Ich wohne in München ja :-) du auch?
Let me know if you’re interested in Cognizant business consulting
Plenty of opening in KPMG Switzlerand, but vaccines are going to be near-mandatory soon (i.e. if you don't have a vaccine, you need to pay for your own tests to enter restaurants, clubs, etc) in Switzerland
