	If you count surfing the net, chatting with friends and posting on EF Forum as work then, Im overworked too On a serious note, do you think its a good idea to compare your salary in your home country (UK) with what you get in CH or just compare the local CH market? That MP survey, was it for expat salaries or local CH?

It is always better to compare with the local market salary as the parameters are different from your home country.

Also, The survey i linked doesnot differentiate between expats and locals (it doesn't matter as the salaries are based on competency normally).

My dad always said genius is 99% prespiration and 1% inspiration, whereas I said Genius is 100% inspiration

I mean I could've been born with a golden spoon in my mouth and didnt have to worry about anything! When I got this job, he seriously had to rethink his perspective to life

	I am not sure about EU citizens. They normally check this when they issue L or B permit. So, it must apply for EU citizens also as i think they are also considered foreign workers Source: http://www.fragomen.com/newsresource...lerts&news=436
