Advice for young prof thinking of moving to Switzerland

17 years ago
Hello,

I am a 25 yr old female currently working for a bank in London. I have always lived here but would really like to experience living abroad for a couple of years. I have the opportunity to move within Europe with my job and am considering Switzerland as an option. I have been to Lugano which was very beautiful and am also thinking about Zurich. My only concerns are the cultural differences. As a young girl moving to Switzerland on her own... is it going to be very hard to fit in and make friends. I have read that the swiss do not generally make friends at work and that as a whole are quite formal. Can anybody share any personal experiences and give me any advice? I think switzerland offers many great things but I don't want to live somewhere where I have no friends or social life. I'd also appreciate any info on what the social scene in zurich is like... are there places to go out and have fun?
Thanks katy :)
