So I’m starting a new job in Geneva next month and preparing for this move has been a stressful job in itself given that my salary is average as per the standards and finding accommodations on Facebook is a risky business with hundreds of scammers.
If anyone would be kind enough to give me some tips on where to look for studios/small apartments, I’d be really grateful.

Also what does the tax situation look like if I were to get a place in nearby France?

When I was looking for an apartment I would ask for a visit - say that my friend will visit and check - usually scammers would stop responding after that

I recommend start by renting with a sublet/airbnb for a month or so. Once you're living here you'd be able to view apartments and know which area you want to live in

If you work in Geneva and live in nearby france you’ll pay income taxes in Geneva. In france you’ll have other taxes such as Redevance (public tv), taxe habitation has been cancelled last year so if you rent you won’t have to pay it.
There are few things to know as well, if you live in France, feel free to contact me if you did not find your answers.
