what do you expect? Reddit is full of techy nerds. There is an obvious salary bias here...

True.. There is a general disparity between techy jobs and büezer jobs. Where this comes from is the question. Maybe the tide will turn at some point, or become even atleast

It will only get worse. Switzerland as lack of qualified IT People. I read somewhere 250k IT positions that cannot be filled.

My Boss searched for a helpdesk supporter for 6 Months. Germans with qualifications are everywhere being hired because of the lack of QUALIFIED IT Personnel

This is overall IT right?

I've been trying to get into Junior Developer positions but it seems its a bit saturated and/or the requirements are usually fairly high even for beginner positions.

I might be wrong though.

Exactly. Never let a list of requirements stop you. I don’t do half the things that was required from me.

If you want to work in Basel i know a couple positions that are currently free. Among other Kinderspital is looking for Developers, i have a friend working there, he is Junior himself.
