I (21M) am doing my Rekrutschule/Ecole de recrue from January to May and I am expecting to become a sergeant/WM. I am starting university in September and during my studies I will have to give up 4 months to the military to be a sergeant during an RS/ER for other recruits. I will do it between my bachelor and my master. After these four months, I can 1) become a fourrier, acquiring a Federal diploma of accountant 2) a Lieutenant, acquiring leadership skills 3) keep on being a sergeant and go back to UNI asap to start my master. Knowing that I am seeking forward to pursue a career in high finance in Switzerland, I am left with a few questions : Is a career in the military still something that employers love to see on CVs ? In terms of leadership roles, sergeant… lieutenant, skills, etc ? Knowing that I will have Cours de Répétitions (3-4 weeks/year), will employers find it penalizing to have me leaving for approximately a month each year ? (Preferring someone else over my profile) In general, do the Swiss Army and Swiss universities collaborate efficiently for students to find a balance and have both running well ? Thanks in advance for your responses, I wish you a good and restful Sunday. submitted by /u/Sad_Ant3207
