Skilled jobs
We're not talking about seasonal work, but about building a professional career in Switzerland.
About us
We've walked the same path as you.
Rumbo a Suiza was founded by María and Héctor: two different stories of arriving in Switzerland and making their way into skilled jobs. What we learnt the hard way, we pass on to you the easy way.
Founder
María Barajas Gutiérrez
Assistant Manager Global Treasury at a Swiss multinational
Her story
María came to Switzerland to do a master's degree at the University of Zurich. Before finishing it, she was already working in the Global Treasury department of a Swiss multinational, where she is now Assistant Manager.
Along the way she went through everything we now explain to you: adapting her CV to the Swiss format, navigating job fairs and recruiters, registering with the municipality, choosing insurance, finding a flat… Rumbo a Suiza is the guide she wishes she'd had when she arrived.

Héctor Melchor Alaiz
Quantitative Analyst at a Swiss hedge fund
Her story
Héctor spent two years looking for a job in one of the most demanding environments there is: the Swiss financial sector. Today he is a Quantitative Analyst at a Swiss hedge fund.
In those two years he tried everything: applications, endless selection processes, technical interviews, networking… and he learnt what works and what doesn't. What took him two years can be solved in a fraction of the time with what he learnt. That's why he looks after jobs at Rumbo a Suiza, and why PromptWorkAI is included in our packs.
