@Ejaz943: Unfortunately the Naveed that I know hasn't replied to my message. This means either he is not the person you're looking for and doesn't know you, or he is on leave. I presume the former, but in case he replies positively at a later time, ... Read More

To meet Filipinos, you can visit one of those bars or restaurants offering KTV on Fri and/or Sat evenings. I'm not that familiar with the St. Gall area but in Zurich and Canton Aargau there are quite a few KTV venues. A Thai friend of mine goes to ... Read More

Hi, I am being offered a job in Switzerland (Zurich) by employer in India. I am in IT professional and the salary offered is 55K CHF+Employee Benefit per Year Now before making the final decision, I would like to know few things. Initially I will ...
I can't judge whether 4.5 kSGD per month is good or bad in Singapore, hence I can't tell whether you would likely be better or worse off moving to Switzerland but I can tell you that 55 kCHF basic gross per year is very very low by industry ... Read More

Job offer in Zug...Salary estimate by Amit18
Hi, I am a fresh MBA grad and have been offered a job with a base annual gross salary of 78,000 CHF. I am not sure where this falls in comparison with other salaries offered. I have heard that cost of living is pretty high. Any help would be ...
Ok, that changes the equation a bit. Since this is "merely" a trainee position, the salary and perks are fair. I didn't know it was about a trainee position, as fresh MBA graduates usually start at higher levels at the two large banks or the said ... Read More

Sorry, I totally disagree with Smith. 78 kCHF gross is 6.5 kCHF per month, this is almost a rip-off for an MBA graduate. As a normal Master's graduate (read: normal master, not MBA, which is arguably worth a little bit more) you would get a ... Read More

1. Fringe benefits: Could be anything, depends on how your company defines these benefits. Generally speaking, 150 CHF could be regarded as a subsidy for a monthly public transport pass. In Switzerland it is quite common to commute by ... Read More
