Geneva

Senior engineers and specialists in fintech or commodity trading will find the most lucrative opportunities here. It is an ideal city for outdoor enthusiasts who want easy access to the Alps and the lake, as well as families prioritizing safety and high-quality education. People who prefer a calm, orderly lifestyle over a chaotic urban buzz and are willing to learn French to integrate will thrive.

Junior developers or those with limited experience may struggle to find roles that justify the high cost of living. Individuals seeking a vibrant nightlife or a bustling, large-scale tech community (like London or Berlin) will likely find Geneva too quiet and small. Those who are budget-conscious or unable to deal with the stress of a highly competitive housing search should also consider other cities.
