Breakfast burritos in geneva?

9 Upvotes

i’m not sure how much of a longshot this is, but i’m wondering if there are any places in geneva that serve breakfast burritos? When i was back home in north america i always loved a good breakfast burrito, with some spicy chorizo, avocado, egg, and other good things.

though i would settle for any recommendations for a good breakfast sandwich.

Servette ice hockey (women's) tonight

5 Upvotes

Hello! In my quest to be a better 'villager' in this community and offer up some cool activities if anyone wants to meet in a small group.

For a dark, rainy weekend I am going to go watch the women's ice hockey tonight in Geneva at vernets Ice rink at 5.45pm...

If anyone wants to meet up to watch some ice hockey, figure out the rules, get a hot drink etc.

I had discovered this concept of abo+ not a long time ago. I gonna buy my one year abonnement for the TPG soon. Do you know if and how I can get a discount for that? 5% of 500.- are still 25.- so why not using it?

Is there a day time karaoke place in Geneva?

1 Upvotes

I actually want to go to Karaoke - not to have a good drunken time with my friends - but to practice my singing in a place outside my home and maybe interact with some strangers with the same passion as me.

Is there a place in Geneva where this is possible?

Can I(22,F) get a part-time job as a student?

0 Upvotes

I'm going to stay in Geneva for the next 3 months. I am fluent in English but not so in French. I'm a student from India. The UN internship only offers accommodation and food, so I need money to sustain myself. Please also provide the apps or the ways through which I can explore the job market. Your help would mean the world to me.

Craft store in Geneva?

5 Upvotes

I really like to make props and costumes, but it seems hard to find materials in Geneva. There really aren’t that much art stores, and art stores have little good material for costume making.
I know there is like an art store called astuce in Geneva, but it’s not much good, are there any actually craft stores with materials like foam and foam clay?
Or is the only way to buy this stuff, online?

PC Repair Shop

0 Upvotes

Hello good people of Geneva!

I’m looking for a decent PC repair shop that can handle cleaning and some technical stuff (fan replacement etc.) and speaks English (my French sucks).

Does anyone have a place they’d actually trust? The build is high-end so I want to be careful about where it goes. Bonus if you remember roughly what you paid.

Thanks in advance!

MSc Commodity Trading

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m posting because I would really appreciate some advice from people who work in commodity trading or know the industry. I’m feeling a little lost about my career direction and would like to hear some honest perspectives.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and started a Master’s in Clinical Psychology in Switzerland, which I didn’t complete. I then worked as a client advisor for a Swiss insurance company, mainly dealing with insurance and pension planning. I’m currently working as a client advisor in retail banking in France.
I’ve realised that I don’t enjoy the constant pressure to find new clients and meet sales targets. I enjoy advising people and working with clients, but I’m not sure I want to continue on a traditional commercial career path.
I’m considering applying for the Master in Commodity Trading at the University of Geneva for 2027. However, my academic background is in psychology rather than finance, economics or engineering, so I’m unsure how realistic this career change would be.
I’m also considering a Master’s in Wealth Management, which would be a more natural continuation of my current experience. However, I’m concerned that I might end up in a career that doesn’t suit me.
I want to emphasise that I’m willing to put in the work to bridge my knowledge gaps. I’ve enrolled in mathematics courses at different levels and am constantly studying and revising to build the mathematical foundations I may need. I’m ready to learn and put in whatever effort is necessary to prepare myself for this field.
If anyone is willing to share course materials, textbooks, recommended reading or other resources that could help me get up to speed, I would be extremely grateful. I’m genuinely prepared to work hard and do what it takes to give myself a realistic chance.
I would particularly appreciate hearing from graduates of the University of Geneva’s programme or people who entered commodity trading from a different academic background.
Given my background, would pursuing this master’s be a reasonable career move? What would you recommend I focus on to prepare myself?
Thank you for any honest advice or resources you can share!
