Tobias Buchner commutes from Hohenems to Vaduz every day to work as a Senior Marketing Consultant. His story shows how attractive Liechtenstein is as a business location for commuters.

Almost 15 years ago, I started my professional career at mobilkom liechtenstein straight after graduating from the University of Liechtenstein. After a few years and a merger with Telecom Liechtenstein, I was looking for a new challenge in the private sector. I found this about four years ago at First Advisory.

Thanks to the interaction between the different companies at First Advisory, I have an enormously varied range of tasks. There is rarely one day that is the same as another. In our small marketing team, consisting of just two people, I have a lot of responsibility and freedom. My line manager and I work in parallel and less hierarchically, which has greatly encouraged my professional development. I regularly take advantage of First Advisory's openness to further training with great interest. With current developments, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, my job remains exciting and constantly offers new challenges.

Liechtenstein is a country of entrepreneurs, with transparent structures and legal certainty for employers and employees.

Thanks to the country's manageable size, decisions can be made quickly, which has helped Liechtenstein to position itself well and react flexibly to global changes in recent decades. I appreciate the compactness and stability of the country, which offers many exciting jobs in different sectors.

The people of Liechtenstein may not like to hear it, but many Swiss virtues can be found here: Performance, diligence, self-confidence and stability. There is also a certain patriotism, which sometimes takes some getting used to, but you can allow yourself to have a bit of fun here.

I live in Vorarlberg, and the commute can be a challenge during rush hour. I have three children and I'm not at home at their peak times. The fact that I can balance work, family and leisure time is mainly thanks to my wonderful wife. Working from home takes some of the pressure off me, and I have moved my sport from the early evening to lunchtime, which is supposed to be healthier than a greasy lunch. Apart from that, life in Liechtenstein is very similar to life in Vorarlberg - perhaps that's why I like it so much!
