Ask HN: Where can I find a well paid junior Android Kotlin position?
3 points by chagaif on Sept 28, 2022 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I've been working in Switzerland for nearly 3 years now. I earned 72,000 (CHF) the first year, 78,000 the second year and now I've reached 86,400 at my current job. I quit this job and with the new job I'll be earning 96,000 after a 3 months trial period in which I'll earn the same as I earn now. I see a lot of Java jobs with Spring Boot and Angular but I'd really like to work with Android and Kotlin, I applied to Element.io and got rejected so I think I might need to apply as a junior Kotlin developer even though I have quite some experience.

I'm not sure where I could look for Kotlin jobs and if it's possible to not deviate too far from my current salary, I'm not sure which country and I'm not sure which platform I could use.

I've tried some stuff on LinkedIn and Indeed and others and I've tried in Switzerland, Israel and the US since I speak English and Hebrew natively and German fluently.

P.s. I know that you're all going to say that the expenses in Switzerland are higher, but I'm very frugal and this doesn't apply to me that much. I still earn a lot more than I would earn in Germany for example and I really don't want to earn 10,000 less...

Here's my CV if you're curious Https://chagai.website/cv.pdf

Thanks for reading up to here and I'll be very glad to get any feedback




The money for devs in Switzerland is in: 1. Electronic Trading - Java / C / Python 2. Pharma

If you are trying to optimize your take home pay, first stop is changing canton to one with lower income Tax ie: Zug, but would look into getting out of the Pigeon hold that is Android especially if you plan on staying in Switzerland.
