That assuming you choose a job because you want to work there and not because of the money.
To clearify: Making out a standard is hard because the jobs are so different. You can expect to get paid more when you do project management as well for example. And less if your job gives you all the time in the world to research and learn.
- onion2k 10y agoLater i can still argue beeing worth more if i want. It's a lot easier to get an additional 10k on your starting salary than a 10k raise.
- herbst 10y agoNot sure if i can agree with that. Companies i worked for usually had a very certain plan how much they want to pay new people. And if they are doing really well a 10k raise is not exactly rare. Might be easier in Switzerland than in other markets tho
- itamarst 10y agoI once got an offer, accepted it, then had some issues with IP contract. They offered me 20% more. That means I probably could have gotten 30% more than initial salary. So just adding 20% on top is not always enough.
- herbst 10y agoI seriously suspect this is different in other countries. But if you come fresh from school or a newbie generally i dont see why they should pay you more money than average before they even know you are good. But anyway, i also never worked for the money. The more i earned the more i spent. Therefore its not something i really care about.
