“I flew to Switzerland and was hired by two large international firms at the same time within a few weeks, both offering double the pay and with better benefits. I had to choose. Months later, my spouse joined me there. 11 years later, I learned that Swiss banks were rejecting little people simply because they had US citizenship and as a result of US policy. It was clear that the US citizenship had to go. Overall, I find that the American job market is often trigger-happy, overreacting to strongly to non-issues. In Switzerland, I’m trusted, my skills and motivation are respected and appreciated and my minor human errors are forgiven. To anyone thinking about working in America: think again.”
