I have a line on a freelance technical writing gig (in IT), and have to give my rate. I honestly have no idea of competitive rates in Switzerland. Would anyone be willing to share a general range of rates, or point me in a direction where I might find the info?

Thanks in advance!

It depends what type of writing "gig" you are talking about. Technical magazines or product documentation ?

Here some examples of adverts, some of which contain numbers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Dave. Specifically, the job is in user's help documentation.

You should be looking at CHF 100 per hour minimum. Depending on the client and your own experience, you may get CHF 125 / 130.

I'm looking to identify experienced technical and business editors and authors for clients in Switzerland. If you know people who already have experience of working in Switzerland, I would be pleased to know.
