By popular demand, I now offer advice & consultation sessions for people who are thinking of moving or planning the move to Switzerland. There’s a lot of very personal and specific topics that I am not able to cover in videos.

For those cases, we can schedule a Zoom/Skype/FaceTime/WhatsApp call (20-45 min) where I will do my best to answer any specific questions you might have.

    I've been working one year in Geneva and 4 years in Luxemburg. I'm French, and I would like which role could be smart to apply in Private Banking.
  • is it harder to get in a BB or in a EB in Switzerland? And how would you rate a changing from TAS Big4 to Investment Banking, which is quite usual in Germany
  • @lisav.5910
    Thank you so much for this video! 🧡 I have a master’s degree in foreign languages and literatures (I speak EN and FR), and now I’m studying Business and Administration by myself (9 months programme). Becoming a Swiss banker has always been a dream, but I don’t have any experience for now. The situation is complicated here where I live. Perhaps I should consider an internship… I feel unmotivated. Is there any chance for people like me in this industry? 🥺
