>__Switzerland is less popular than ever with foreign professionals, according to a survey by the expat platform Internations. Despite the high quality of life, many skilled workers find it difficult to make friends in Switzerland.__
>According to a survey published on Wednesday, Switzerland was ranked 34th out of a total of 53 countries, compared to 23rd last year.
>The country continued to score points for its quality of life and wage levels. However, respondents rated the aspects of housing and social life as rather difficult.
>The housing situation was a headache for many expats. Around 63% rated the cost of housing negatively.
>The overall poor result is also due to the lack of openness of the population. Expats have difficulties getting used to the local culture and do not feel welcome in the country.
>At 46%, less than half felt that people in Switzerland are friendly towards foreigners. And 62% stated that it was difficult to make local friends.
>Financially, however, most expats are satisfied with their situation. As many as 58% stated that they had a gross annual income of at least 100,000 dollars.
>Foreign professionals also rate the technical and administrative aspects of life in Switzerland positively. For example, the easily accessible broadband internet, access to online services and the availability of administrative services on the internet were praised.
Bohoo they don’t like listening to me rambling about how great New-York/Paris/London is.

You can pretty much ignore that.
Is there actually a country with high quality of life where it’s easy to make friends ? The “not making friends” for me just looks like a complaint that could be done about any other “high quality of life” country, i. E. nordic countries, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc.
Anglo saxon countries have a much worse social system than Switzerland, so while it’s easier to “make friends”, if you ever get issues with money or health, you’re screwed. And quality of life for the average Joe in those countries is definitely lower than for the average Swiss
To be honest, for me it just looks like people will always find something to complain about
Housing crisis makes sense since Switzerland is a small country with limited space, and two thirds of it is already taken by mountains. This doesn’t seem like an issue that could easily be solved.

Salary are losing competitiveness, taxes high, services are mediocre and expensive, lifestyle is boring, houses are expensive, costumer service is horrible, having kids is too expansive, burocrate is too much, pretty much way to many rules. But again salaries are not competitive as used to be, so people are less incentivized to deal with all the rest
