@pam w, @Nadenoodlee, I could probably pass an A1 French exam, or it certainly wouldn't take me a great deal of time to do so.
@Timbobaggins, definitely not them then, although wouldn't be surprised if their paths have crossed.
@Glosterwolf, who needs the alps when you've got Gloucester Ski Centre? A friends' brother (Polish EU National) worked at CERN and from what I understand, loved it. Their website is one I check out for roles regularly.

A1 is very basic isn't it? - should be doable in a few weeks of hard work? |
I’ve started A1 Spanish. Maybe ai’m old, but it doesn’t seem as basic as I was hoping. Actually, reading I’m ok with it’s the speaking and listening I struggle with. It’s the ‘process what they’re saying and come up with a suitable response’ part I struggle with!

@swskier, I’m sure you have checked with them, but Nestle are just along the lake in Vevey and have English speaking roles. I worked some summer seasons in the pre-Alps for people who started an international school near Nestle, specifically to cater to their International workers.
I’m an accountant too, have often thought about a secondment with my firm to GVA. I am going to try to work remotely in Chamonix in the summer for a few wks if we can pull it off between my OH and myself, as we have two kids to look after. My firm has a specific policy permitting us to do it (if we have the right to work there, and we are Irish so no issues with our passports).

@Nadenoodlee, @pam w, thanks both.
@davidof, i've waited so long now to get a chance, i'd be mad to pull out! We've said to each other, the worst thing is, we don't like it and come back to the UK again, but in the future when we look back, we'll just see it as something we should have done

@swskier, I said that nearly 9yrs ago now. Luckily the UK makes it super easy to not want to go back!

@swskier, nice one, congrats! Assuming it's the company I'm thinking of, a couple of friends of mine work there and both seem pretty happy with the set up.

You know it makes sense.

Congrats on making it happen. With your attitude I suspect that outcome is highly unlikely!

@clarky999, thanks. Yes likely the same place, it's presumably the biggest employer in Jenbach? Everyone i've spoken to from there seems to live in Innsbruck and commutes to Jenbach, but we're thinking of living somewhere along the Zillertal and commuting down.
@BobinCH, thank you, been a long time coming!

FWIW my sister and her boyfriend both recently moved to Salzburg working for Aldi. She was seconded from the UK and they sorted everything for her; he applied to Aldi in Austria and got the job completely separately from her and they sorted visas/residency.
Both work in English, decent salaries, relocation packages, and as Aldi apparently struggle to recruit locally in Austria (not sure why!) both their teams are very international (EU and non-EU). |
I have friends who work for Aldi in Salzburg. Great package. Lots of jobs always available online. I will definitely consider it when the time is right to move
