As a developer in Switzerland, I&#x27;m unfortunately not surprised.<p>Maybe Swiss firms have a real arrogance problem (not all, but many). If it makes you feel any &quot;better&quot;, your country of origin is not the reason (I get comments like that while living in Switerland too).<p>They are mostly just clueless. Large Swiss firms even more so (Swisscom being the main offender).<p>EDIT: To clarify, I got lowball offers with some other bullshit reason like &quot;but it&#x27;ll help bootstrap your career&quot;. As if my multiple years (15+) of career in international companies doing a good job (as developer&#x2F;architect&#x2F;senior) was not enough for their position, somehow.
