Been looking for a job in CH for some time, clocking three years in one of the big 4s in the UK (EU national, native French, fluent English) .
Internal international mobility scheme not proving too helpful so far; usually my German language at about B1 is an instant blocker.
Started my search around Zurich-Basel, then Fribourg, Lausanne, Geneva.
Any thoughts on companies, and/or BA / process manager-related roles (with about 10 years experience) who do not require fluent German?
Many thanks.

There’s plenty of opportunities despite the German language barrier - I’d say the biggest blocker would be hiring a foreigner. The whole process to prove there was no talent within CH / EU is a difficult entry hurdle

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

I’ve been having a difficult time selling at my company. I have a strong background in metal sales, but took a chance in residential sales right before inflation. My employer promised reimbursement for use of personal devices, which hasn’t happened, health care which he back tracked and made reference to but has not paid, I found out they’re looking for a new rep making the same false promises. Other than looking for other employment, do I have any alternatives to hold them accountable?

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
