Great video. I've been in Switzerland for exactly 4 years now and my employer did handle a lot of the paperwork, but they did not contribute to anything related to relocation. I rented a fully furnished apartment, so I didn't have to much of anything besides a few personal belongings. Regarding health insurance costs, if you are a lower income earner, you should qualify for a Prämienverbilligung (as it's called in German) which is a subsidy for your health insurance premiums, which can be quite significant.

Hello ! thank you for this useful video ! I love your videos because you are giving a lot of details, it is very useful :) I have very little time to relocate to Switzerland and I was wondering: can you maybe give us a template of your document with everything we need to think about and follow before moving ? That would be the greatest help !!! Thank you !
