| well, now i have 100k + 10% bonus and other company offered me 85 chf / hour . That's much more for me, although i will probably also have to pay a lot higher taxes if i move from Zurich to Basel-Stadt. | |

Having spend 17 years contacting here before I switched to a full time position I can assure you that CHF85 / hour is a long way short of 110K, it's more like 80K - 90K plus nothing!!!!
In addition to the salary you quoted you need to take in account the employer's pension contribution, paid holidays and sick leave, training costs, accident insurance, loss of income insurance and so on.....
A lot of "old times" like myself have got out of the contract business over the past 5 years because it is no longer interesting. I estimated my break even point to be around CHF115 / hour for comparison to full time positions....
Good luck with that,
Jim
