Grüezi mittenand,

I apologize for the boring and gloomy subject of job hunting. But I was just wondering if the job market in CH is really as dry as it appears to be, outside of IT or marketing.

Specifically, I am thinking about hardware-related engineering/science positions. R&D, development, production, application, systems engineering - these types of jobs.

Personally I have been sitting unemployed for a month, and recently found a job, which is suboptimal in many ways:

• would need to move.
• company/firma is in the red, so unlikely to be a long term stable job. Giving it 2-3 years tops.
• career trajectory risky long term (niche field for example).

In a normal market I would pass. But checking the vibes from people, passing it is scary.

Is it a "grab-what-you-can" market in CH right now?
