Some funny fact: we are very lean when it comes to development and have 0 (Zero) automated tests.
You could theoretically also serve some relevant ads (products or services for Software Engineers) but the conversion would be probably very poor.
We are:
- 2 co-founders
- 2 up to 4 people part-time as contractors
- full remote, almost zero offline retreats
- growing the user base around 10% MoM
- all communication happens on our Discord server
- bootstrapped, no founding
It's not clear if this model will scale easily, but I can see us growing to at least 10-15 people this way.
This funny piece sums up a few points: https://swissdevjobs.ch/blog/switzerland-vs-silicon-valley
Long story short: it's super easy if you are from the EU. If not, it is quite hard.
Would that drive their inflation crazy?

What is our Software Engineer Career Starter Program?
Our program is designed for Computer Scientist with a master’s degree. The program is 12 months, where you will have one of our experienced engineers to mentor you and introduce to all aspects of Software Engineering and guide you through our development cycles in real life. During the program, you will work closely on your path becoming a Software Engineer and your first own projects. After completion of the program, you will get a fulltime Software Engineer position in atfinity.
Where is our team heading?
We engineer software solutions which simplify compliance. Banks are subject to strict regulation which are an essential part of the prevention of money laundering, tax fraud and necessary to control the risks of the financial sector for the society. Complying with the rapidly changing regulations is complicated and extremely demanding for everyone involved. Our software ensures that banks always have their clients compliant

Berlin has definitively a bigger Startup scene and generally more companies to pick from than Zurich.
In terms of salary you have to also account for taxes (100k in Germany will be taxed at around 45% and in Switzerland (Zurich) around 30%.
I plan a few more articles to describe it from my current >2 year experience.
The topics that will be touched:
- IT market in Switzerland: startups, BigCorp and other companies
- SV vs Switzerland for living and working
In the end you can find a Senior earning 250k CHF annually and one earning 100k, there are many factors that come into play.
It's also important to consider both salaries and costs of living but I would say from my 2 year experience here that you can live better than in Silicon Valley and save in the same time.
On the other hand, if you are single - there is probably not a better place in Europe, even in the world to work as a Developer, save a substantial part of your salary and have good work life balance in the same time: https://www.quora.com/Is-130K-CHF-total-annual-gross-a-good-...
