Hi all!

After months of interviewing I was offered a role that would relocate me to Zurich. I'm incredibly excited! The relocation package is a bulk payment that would cover all of my moving expenses...the amount is pretty low and definitely needs to be negotiated. To that end, I was hoping someone in this forum will have recent experience in moving from the US (i'm in Los Angeles) to Zurich and could share what their relo costs were.

Household goods (air, boat and land freight, storage, etc)
I'll be moving with my two dogs (one is senior)...if you've done this how much was your total cost for their relo, registration, etc
Transference of Driver's License (I looked this up but got back so many conflicting numbers)
Anything else that I'm not considering??

I have 500,000 browser tabs open and am feeling a little overwhelmed. Any insight would be super appreciated!! Thank you!!
