I'm particularly interested in what the lifestyle is like for finance professionals.
From what I gather, Switzlerland is quiet, laid back, good money, low tax, clean, efficient trains! Is this an accurate assessment?
What is it like to live in Switzerland?
And specifically for those who work in finance - is it much more laidback than working in say New York or London?

It's pretty much as you describe it. However, the hassles are there all the same. Not least, pettifogging bureaucracy, the inbuilt racism of the Swiss, issues with the language etc.
And no it's not expensive these days - the pound is strong at the moment so you will do well against the franc. In any case, important things like travel, petrol, car tax, council tax (equivalent) are all much lower so you will be fine.

And the legal system is a bit different, there are restrictions on property ownership &c.
