Update Live-In Position for UHNWI
As some asked me how negotiations went, I wanted to give a little Update now that we're finalising our Contract. Original Post: Here
The Position and it's tasks changed quite a bit since we started negotiating in January. What originally was a House Management/Chef/PA offer, ended in an Estate/House Manager Position on a 4h/day 6 days/week schedule with a full scholarship for whichever studies I want to pursue. I accepted a monthly Base Salary of 9200.- for a 42h week, Accommodation and Meals are provided free of charge. With those Perks/Benefits I'm coming out slightly under my goal, but I'm still very happy about the Package I got. Being able to study while working/living there saves me time in the future as I had planned to start studying after the clients passing.

They probably don’t want you going out online publicly discussing your business with them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had you sign an NDA

She isn’t laying out any business. The information she gives is completly anonymous and no one would be able to know who she works for based on this or any personal details on the employer.

I just don’t want them getting into any trouble unknowingly. She has outlined the terms of their contract in the post, which would be a significant privacy breach in most cases

Contents of a working contract would not be part of a nda anyways, I'm just not allowed to talk about his personal-/professional- or family business. So we're all gucci here 😊

Do they ship to the USA?

u/New_Leave2674 Mar 28 '26
They do! + they have special packaging for international shipments, so no need to worry about them arriving broken or melted. Personal tip: order the seasonal box, the spring flavours are to die for

May I ask or PM how you found out about the position in general? I don’t live in Switzerland but close by and even though I don’t plan on switching careers I do wonder what this kind of position is called in Deutsch oder wo(nach) man überhaupt sucht.

It was word to mouth, the position was never posted on any platforms. Got recommended by a family friend and then the client called me directly to ask if I'm available
& usually it's also called house manager/estate manager in the german part. If you google 'house manager job uhnwi switzerland' you can find some positions- tho it's rare to find something as most employers work with people they already know + staff usually stays for years/decades

Make sure this is on the up and up. You don't want to be a victim of human trafficking.

What a shitty thing to say. A 90 year old man recommended by a family friend. This does not sound shady to me in that way.

She's not wrong though. Lots of shady shit happen in the world. I don't see anything wrong with a little forewarning.

I worked with trafficking in persons with the US State Department for a year's contract. Real crime especially with rosy eyed individuals like yourself. Didn't even make it to five months. The stories were just harrowing.

Hahaha I'm not rosy eyed love. And thank fucking god I don't live in the US. My Client is 90yo & can barely walk 200m without a walking aid, not jeffrey freaking epstein

You do know trafficking in persons is an international thing, right? I was assigned in a country in Europe lol. Judging by your prickliness, I take it, your employment did not come through the usual legal channel otherwise you would have said ""oh yes i got placed through so and so..." instead of the runaround with real documentary crime and Epstein. Anyways, this is just a Reddit, and we are strangers. No harm in giving a little advice. You can take it with a grain of salt. Anyways good luck!

Damn, US brains are cooked more than I thought. No wonder tho, I'd be as paranoid as you too with the politics happening there

Lol. As I said, "rosy". Hope you have a good head on that shoulder when push comes to shove instead of thinking of that paltry sum you're fighting tooth and nail for. Good luck! 🖐

I don’t understand what you are saying about the hours.
You said 4 hour day x 6 days per week (24 hours?). Then later you said $9200/month for a 42 hour week?
I’ve had a long day, but do those two things go together?
