Hello everyone, I’m an Italian materials engineer and currently doing my second internship. I’m looking to move to Switzerland. I would like to know if someone has suggestions on the job search in Switzerland for a foreigner. Thanks for the help!

Generally speaking - salaries are much lower in Ticcino compared to other places (cost of living also lower but not proportionally).
But it's obviously a really nice place, but if you do speak French or German dont discount the rest of the country :-).

In your opinion, is it possible to get a job in a german/french speaking region only knowing English/Italian (but willing to learn the language)?
