Family Offices Recruiters Zurich

I'm going to move to a $ 2bn single family office in Germany (background in SS ER), primarily focusing on LP investments and some co-investments. While I can envision a long-term career in this industry (thanks to a nice compensation package and reasonable work-life balance), my ultimate goal is to settle down in Zurich, Switzerland.

Considering that I will be starting at a established family office and being a native German speaker, I should not encounter any difficulties transitioning to Switzerland, right? I was contemplating making the switch after being promoted to Investment Associate.

Does this plan sound reasonable to you? Additionally, could you recommend any family office recruiters in Switzerland?

Your plan to transition to a family office in Zurich, Switzerland, after gaining experience and a promotion at your current family office in Germany sounds like a solid strategy. Being a native German speaker will definitely be an advantage in Switzerland.

As for family office recruiters in Switzerland, I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help? I would recommend checking out the WSO Company Database or the Job Search Advice Forum on Wall Street Oasis for potential leads.

Remember, networking is key in the finance industry. So, don't hesitate to reach out to professionals in the field or join finance-related events. The WSO Networking Guide could be a great resource for this.

Also, consider enhancing your skills and knowledge with the WSO Academy courses or the WSO Bootcamps. They offer a range of programs from Investment Banking Interview Prep to Financial Modeling & Valuation.

Good luck with your career transition!
