You could try to check your current employer... maybe they have something to offer?!? Also, they can give you a very accurate offer... if they want so...

Good luck

the swiss system and qualifications are different to everyone else for some reason

You should be able to contact your HR department to get this information for the company you work for in Switzerland, and then use it as a benchmark for a rough idea of the other companies.

Well I can tell you that Deloitte has a very high standing... plus the office is a beautiful building and it's right on the Zurichsee 5 mins from Bellevue.
