I don't recall seeing you on the pitch. If you were, why are you worrying about what may be a sufficient salary in an office job in Switzerland?  |

The FlyingDutchMan (actually German and living in Frankfurt!) needs his own forum.

| Quote: | | | | | Good day everyone,
I have looked through the various posts on the topic and would like your opinion on this package offered for a sales position in Zurich.
Responsibilities mannage the sales of a startup internet company based in Zurich.
Base salary 150K CHF + various benefits, train tickets, insurance, plus an additional 10K in allowances for mobile phone usage and sandwiches :O).
On top a commission structure based on revenue. This is a new business intitial revenue grown will be slow for the first months but due to the unique nature of the service/product offered is expected to increase very fast.
OTE earning are expected for year 1 to be around 200K - 250K CHF
1. Is this a competitive package for Zurich?
1a. It does not include a company car is this normal in CH?
2. How much does a nice furnished appt. cost? I have looked at the various website and was a little shocked :O( roughly 2500 CHF+
3. off topic: what is a nice gym and where is a 50m pool in Zurich
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

This is a decent salary by any calculation. Whether it is competitive is another matter, and frankly, one that many of us find offensive, as has been pointed out.
I wish I could wish you good luck, but I can't - salaries earned by your peers are pushing up the rental/real estate values for the rest of us. We're well-educated, well-trained professionals in non-sales/non-headcount-cutting positions.

well to give the guy a break, it's not really out of the normal for zurich and he's in a start up company which presumably is creating jobs. it could be worse, he could be a banker and 250k could be a quarter of his bonus for the year.

No, I won't look at your package, thank you very much.
But you seem rather cheap, want to work as my butler?

Give him a break, I believe Mr Dutchman is responding as he does because he's not feeling so sure. It's just a defense mechanism.
