you obviously didn't like the answers on your original post ... heres a toy where you can plug in the neccessary & it will give you spot on the salary calculation based on your postcode, dob & experience

LOL, very good

sorry but its not helpful.

The Systems Analyst working in Zurich now earns an average annual salary of 122,480. Half of those in this position would earn between 92,852 and 152,230 (the 17th and 67th percentiles). These numbers are derived from real, area specific, survey data.

(Note: These are conservative government estimates. For competitive salary survey data based on consensus analyses of thousands of private and public salary surveys, see ERI's Salary Assessor software. This salary software covers Europe, Canada, and the United States.)

When benefits and bonuses are added to this salary, the average total compensation for this position would be 138,541. The report below also explains how the cost of living in this location affects the actual value of this salary.

Krati,

That detail was taken from the suggested website. The figures are pretty similar to what you would expect to earn, depending on how much experience and whether you have mastery of the german language.

With your 2 years experience, and if you are good at what you do, you can expect something between 90,000 - 120,000 perhaps more. Competition in Zurich is strong so you need to be at the top of your game.

Take that site info with a large pinch of salt:

The Chauffeur working in Zurich now earns an average annual salary of 188,830. Half of those in this position would earn between 160,336 and 321,068 (the 17th and 67th percentiles). These numbers are derived from real, area specific, survey data.

Yes agreed the site is skewed!

The example I found is fairly close although getting to the upper limit might be difficult to achieve!

here's the figure you want: 90'000
The hard part will be the work permit in my opinion. If you're not entitled to one through your other half then you'll have a hard job as the market is saturated with your skillset.

Thanks a lot for your help.How much bonus I can expact as a software engineer.......is it always 2-3 times more than the salary ??

factor in 1-2 months salary as bonus for permie backoffice types.

They just gave you what you're after - why would you qualify for an immediate multiplier of 2-3 times what everyone else gets?

edit - oops, I missed the word "bonus"

Hello there Lob, looks like you have competition in the avatar stakes
