It boils down to the question of how to measure the productivity of software engineers in general, which is hard to answer.

Very hard, juniors can get productive within two weeks, but seniors or leads might need up to 6 months.

I think being good with a proprietary technology like Qlik isn't so bad. That is a rare skill and there are jobs.

The question is what you want in life and your job. You are saying you have the feeling you should have learned more but why is that? Do you want more money, fame or freedom?

exists since 2-3 years, inspired by it maybe?

But sometimes to CTO, I have seen it happening.

I live in Zurich since 5 years and am German. I never experienced anything like that. The Swiss are very polite and if you follow the rules, you will be fine.

What people miss is that Zurich has more foreigners than London or Berlin. 40% have no Swiss passport. It is actually the most international city in Europe.

Quatico.com |Lead (React+Java), Fullstack, Backend (Java), Frontend (React), DevOps | Zurich, Switzerland | SALARY: 90k-130k CHF | ONSITE | Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders only

We currently are looking to hire one fullstack (React, Java) senior engineer, or team lead. We have a "engineering over management" culture where you find engineers both with formal computer science background and also ones, who are self-taught. Our CTO worked with Erich Gamma et al before.

We are building tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we built the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland. We do custom development with a heavy engineering part and we regularly impress clients with software that rarely needs maintenance.

Our interview process:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us.
