Sooner or later it had to happen.
In Vaduz, Liechtenstein I have lived perfect life. At least for me. Uni wasn’t hard, I had a cool job, great people around me, time to travel and for other hobbies. I was convincing myself that my life really is perfect. Well, having a girlfriend or a dog would be great but one cannot have everything.
It all started when my Danish friend told me, that there is a company in Switzerland which is focusing on Bitcoin and hiring currently. I emailed them tuned CV made by my awesome friend Jasnička and then the interview was pretty much a good talk ended with invitation for a beer and continued with job offer which I accepted. So, without good friends I wouldn’t be sitting where I am sitting today and I am extremely thankful for that.
Sooner or later it had to happen. It just happened sooner than I expected. So, this past week I moved to city of Zug in Switzerland, which is located 100km further on west from Liechtenstein. The first days were incredible. I didn’t even have time to unpack. Regarding the job itself it is not the classy office where everyone leaves at 5pm. Those people work all day long. Holidays, weekends, working hour? That’s not the game this company would play. My first working day I got back to the apartment after 9pm and there still was couple of people in the office when I was leaving. On the other hand, one can see that the employees absolutely believe in what they do and they give it everything. And one can also see that money isn’t an issue for them. When I say, they are rich, I mean it.
Luxury cars, watches, fancy dinners, gold bars… not that I would not like it, but it simply is something I am not used to. I cannot even go out for a lunch with my colleagues, because I cannot afford it… at least for now.
I can’t really talk about the details of my job as I signed quite strict NDA. However, all the activities of the company are described at official webpage bitcoinsuisse.ch, where I personally work in ICO’s department. There are 14 employees in total and I had a chance to meet most of them already. I must say that they are really cool and that is very important for me. I am just afraid how I will handle my life when the Uni starts again. It’s going to be tough.
There is one fact that surprised me lately which has nothing to do with the new job. After a long time, I was home. Home in Moravia for almost 5 weeks. It was quite weird experience to live in my parents’ house again and I was little worried. But there was no reason for the fear and I really enjoyed being home. I had a great time with my parents, I am happy that I had plenty of time for my Czech friends and I somehow realized that somewhere deep down in me there still is Moravian heart. And with almost weeping eyes I feel something so called home sickens.
Before going to Kansas in June 2011 I wrote:
“People often ask me if I ever come back. That’s something I know for sure, I will. There are people that I truly care about and I believe that they care about me the same way. I will never forget, where I came from…”
Nothing changed since then.
