| Hi again.
I don't know why I didn't get any replies to my query.
Maybe there just aren't any finance people looking at this forum recently?
Or maybe my question was too general - I don't know.
Maybe anyone (of any profession) could give me a general idea of the level of difficulty and length of time I should allow in order to achieve my aim.
Any replies greatly appreciated!

I wasn't in the same position as you but here are some observations if it helps:
1. Not speaking French, not being resident here and (I assume) not having a work permit in Switzerland will make it harder. Not impossible but you will be at a disadvantage.
2. Having said that there are lots of english speaking companies and organisations in Switzerland. The finance and banking sector is a big employer. Many of these sponsor moves of existing employees from home countries to fill vacancies in CH but many will recruit locally. There are lots of people working for these companies who do not have good French.
3. Have you looked at this thread which lists recruitment agencies:
http://www.englishforum.ch/jobs/3653...itzerland.html.
4. Consider extending your search to the Canton of Vaud as it will give you more scope.
5. As regards timing, how long depends on how long it takes to get a job but it can take three months plus for the work permit to come through.
