Tips for an American in Zurich?

Hi everyone,

It was nice meeting some of you at the bar night. I moved to Zurich because my husband transferred for work. I am an American with an L permit that doesn't allow me to work. I have an undergraduate degree in Economics from MIT and a Masters in Public Policy from UC Berkeley. I don't speak German. I have no finance experience, which has made banking jobs tough to get. I prefer something without crazy hours, which may also limit consulting opportunities. I am open to jobs not in my field of study. Thoughts?

Best,
Simone

P.S. Thanks again for the tips, Sheewie.
