Salaries in Switzerland reach $500k-$1 million/year? Honest question, I know nothing about Switzerland.
- tribaal 5y agoFor software engineers it's not unheard of, but that will be at banks (in specific cases), or FAANG (who have offices in Zurich, typically) EDIT: I'm a Swiss software engineer if that wasn't clear. I don't make that much though unfortunately :)
- city41 5y agoCool, thanks for sharing. It's nice to hear salaries like that are not limited to SV.
- tribaal 5y agoIt's really not the norm though, to be clear. 500k-1M is really outliers (senior staff engineer with 20 years career in a private bank etc...) Most of the jobs are "normal bay area" salaries, but cost of living in Switzerland is as high or worse as San Fransisco, roughly.
- bbojan 5y agoFor the bankers they do :-).
- Leherenn 5y agoSee https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Switzerland/ https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Switzerlan... for the very top. For a more meaningful view of the Swiss market (there's almost only Google on this site for Switzerland), I would have a look at https://swissdevjobs.ch/ https://swissdevjobs.ch/. There's not a lot above 150k.
