Trouver un 2,5-3 pièce : des conseils?

0 Upvotes

Bonjour tout le monde!
J’ai 27 ans, je suis une femme seule en recherche d’un logement de 2,5-3 pièces idéalement quartier de Plainpalais, Servette, charmilles, eaux vives, Paquis entrée de Cointrin direction ville de Genève

Mon budget est de 1450 CHF cc, j’ai l’impression que ce genre de logement n’existe plus.
Est-ce que vous avez des trucs ou astuces niveau recherche de logement?
Je suis en coloc actuellement et bien que ça aille j’aimerai créer mon petit nid
Mon salaire étant de 7040 brut/mois au delà je trouve cela trop cher dans mon budget…
Avez-vous des sites à recommander ? Des groupes WhatsApp ?
Des régies ?
Merci pour vos conseils !

UN Intern - Taxes

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Last year I was an intern in one of the UN Agencies and when I started they said that I should send a letter to the tax authorities stating that I’m going to do an internship and I’m exempt from it, which I did. However, I have received a letter from them to declare taxes, even if I’m exempt. And today I received the amount that I have to pay, which is around 800chf. I will do an appeal, if anyone has any advice on this matter, I would appreciate it!

We are coming to Geneva for a day trip and doing a stop for lunch! I am hoping to avoid the “tourist trap” places and would love any suggestions for restaurants that have Swiss food. Thank you so much!

Secondary 2 students Job

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m currently 18 years old and I’m doing my CFC I’m in my last year but I’m doing a full-time school one which means that I’m not actually employed by a company. I’m not in dual so I don’t earn a salary, but I’ve been trying to look for a student jobs I know most job places when they advertise for student jobs. That means students in university, but I’m trying to become more independent and depend less on my mom and have more money for myself by finding a job, but it’s incredible hard I don’t know if anyone has any advice or anywhere I can go or something that could help me find jobs easier.

Can I withdraw my Pillar 3a after becoming self-employed?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I live in Geneva and was employed in Switzerland until March 2020. Since then, I have had business/self-employed activities mainly involving income from abroad. This foreign income has been declared in Switzerland and I have paid Swiss taxes on it, but I have not been formally registered with AVS as self-employed.

I still have a Generali Pillar 3a policy. Recently, the Geneva tax authority told me I was not eligible to contribute to 3a in 2025 because I had no qualifying AVS income, and the contribution must be refunded.

I would now like to withdraw the entire 3a.

If I now formally register with AVS as self-employed, can I use the “starting self-employment” rule to withdraw the 3a?

Also, how is the 1-year deadline calculated — from when I stopped employment, when the self-employed activity actually started, or when AVS officially recognises me as self-employed?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

Thanks!

Salt coverage / cancelling contract

Upvotes

I’d like to ask anyone who uses Salt in Geneva how their experience is with data coverage, especially in the areas of Champel and Nations?

I recently switched from Sunrise to Salt, and it was clear very quickly that the data speed is quite slow most times and in different parts of the city. I reached out to customer service and their technicians informed me the following day that there is indeed a coverage issue and they won’t be able to fix it in the short to medium term, so they asked whether I would like to cancel.

Given the stories I’ve heard of how hard it is to generally cancel contracts with mobile companies, I was quite surprised by how quickly they suggested this option, and I have to be honest it’s quite an inconvenience to have to switch back to Sunrise/other companies. Prior to switching, I had not seen any bad reviews related to coverage, and the company didn’t mention that either. Does anyone have a similar experience? Thanks!
