Few things:
1) Salaries are essentially capped at $120,000.
2) Stock options are very rare.
Basically, you can't get rich. No different than working at Google but with lower salary potential. This is why Switzerland will never be the next SV.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoI’m pretty sure Google Zurich pays more than $120k.
- mikkelam 7y agoAccording to https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Salaries-E9079.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Google-Salaries-E9079.htm $131k/yr as avg base salary for software engineer and 173 for senior software engineer.
- config_yml 7y agoDepends on the position of course, but they pay much less than in the US. If you want to rake in cash, don't go for a tech job. It's much easier to make > 200k in some random middle management position at a bank.
- username90 7y ago> they pay much less than in the US Not in my experience, it is basically the same. You start at around $160K TC minimum as a junior and then it rises rapidly from there. Glassdoor doesn't have stock and bonus values for Switzerland which makes the salaries look much worse than they actually are.
- googlethrow 7y agoThe total comp at Google Zürich starts at 160K chf/year for new grads. It can go much higher with counteroffers.
