    Once you join Google, you’ll have access to housing-zrh group. Much better chances of getting a house through that group because landlords who’ve rented to Googlers prefer Googlers.

      I think landlords just want tenants who can pay the rent on time, and not cause much of a fuss.

    >90% of the market is on homegate.ch

    If you're looking for something on the cheaper side (say bottom 20-30%-ile) be prepared to apply for dozens of apartments before you get picked, it's very competitive in this price segment and total landlord's market.

      120-130k base, 15-20% bonus and 30-40k stocks

      It's almost 2-3x the median swiss household income, so don't worry you'll have a comfortable life on it, though not filthy rich. You'll even be able to afford a kid or two.
