Moving to Munich from Geneva

Hi Everyone,

I have been living in Geneva for four years as a non-EU passport holder with my family. I currently work for an international health organization. Recently, I received a job offer in Munich, and I find myself in a bit of a dilemma.

On one hand, Switzerland is a beautiful country where you can enjoy a high quality of life and save some money. My child has just started public school here, which adds to the challenge of moving. On the other hand, the path to obtaining a C permit is long and complicated, especially for those on a CDL (non B/C) permit, as companies are often hesitant to sponsor a B permit. Additionally, the job market here is not particularly strong at the moment.

Although this decision might seem straightforward, I can't shake the feeling that I might be making a mistake by leaving. If anyone has recently faced a similar choice, I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experience.
