I’m relocating to Geneva. Does anyone have advice on pros and cons of living at the border in France? It looks like I could save about 40% in rent & insurance and I could live very comfortably in this way. Am I missing something? Any advice is appreciated 🙏🏻

You win 15-30% on rent and other spendings but the QoL is not the same. Groceries are very expensive both sides of the border so it’s not that dramatic. Also living on the border is judged by some even though they don’t say it. Dm me if you have more questions happy to help

Did you compare taxes? I moved from Germany to Switzerland last year and I thought of staying in Germany because living costs are lower, but taxes would be 43% so in my case it was better to move to Switzerland. Don’t know if it’s the same with French taxes.. :)

No problem! Happy to help!!

Rent is almost half by the way not 15-30%^^

I don’t have an answer for you but I think you got some good replies above. Can I chime in this conversation to ask about the likelihood to find a job at Deloitte Switzerland with experience at Deloitte Netherlands? Is it seen as a peer or differently?

It depends from the department, but it doesn’t hurt trying! You should definitely consider also other big3

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
