Is German or French more common?

I knew someone in S.F. who married a woman from Switzerland roughly 5 years ago and moved out there...did you work at a software consulting company in S.F.?


Hi,

Is German or French more common? >

It depends base on the canton, but in the overall swiss german is more spoken than french.

Can't be me, I'm a female ^^.


Depends where you go in Switzerland, my understanding is that the country is sort of divided into two parts depending on language. Same as in Belgium.


3 parts: German-speaking, French-speaking, Italian-speaking

The ~west speaks French (we call the region Romandie), south-east speaks Italian (canton of Ticino), the rest speaks (Swiss-)German.


Why?

I read the website as well as the terms of the challenge and that question is not answered by either.

To try and answer your question - Probably to drum up business.


I like my job so would prefer to stay at my current employer.

That said, I did get an interview with Meta but it was cancelled due to the hiring freezes. Is Google hiring again?


If you want more savings your absolute number one priority should be to get a higher total compensation.

I don't know but this is constantly in discussion on Blind, so I'd check there.
