I just wanted to know "why" I had to this or that.
Never got an answer from this particular outfit.
I thought perhaps it was my problem.
It was.
I think they call it "insubordination". Or failure to submit.

If you are one ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) ian working and living there I want to ask you a question.
I'd like to get a salary reference/life cost for Switzerland.
Let's say:
- Two people living there.
- Only one of them have a job.
- 1 gasoline car.
- Rent a flat.
One annual salary of 100.000 CHF would be:
A) A normal salary that allows you to go on holidays out of the country twice per year.
B) A normal salary that allows you to go on holidays out of the country once per year.
C) A not so good salary, you reach the end of the month if you are careful.
D) A bad salary. You are dead by the second week of the month.
Thank you!

I went to Zug a few years ago to install a database.
At lunch I asked the people working there how to make a proper Käsefondue.
They all basically agreed on the ingredients, white wine, Gruyère (important), some other cheese (not important) and kirschwasser. And that's when the fight started. 
Apparently, Kirschwasser is absolutely needed, or will destroy the fondue completely depending on who you ask.

I always have problems with women in my vicinity (wife, mother) that insist on "alcohol free" fondue, that must be a terrible sin in the eyes of the Swiss
I would definitively have problems with Kirchwasser too, it should be Kirschwasser !

Approximately, no guarantee

Take into account 100K netto otherwhise you have to take into acount also about 12% for old age insurance, unemployment insurance
Have also a look here (in german, but should be easy to translate with Google): Budgetberatung - Budgetbeispiele
and here Anexo:Países por PIB (nominal) per cápita - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre[^]
Finally I would say:
"A) A normal *1) salary that allows you to go on holidays out of the country twice per year."
*1) Definitely above average
Btw: Sorry for the lot of modifications, I'm playing/learning with the html options

Keep in mind: Every worker (resident or from another country) has the right to wages that are customary in Switzerland. If an employer pays less wages to non-residents, he can be prosecuted. This I mention after reading your Profile, I think you are a wanted person here. Depending on your Age/Experience you can ask also for 120K and something more (Brutto)
Optimization potential (of course not so gladly seen here by someone):
You work in the north of Switzerland (Basel etc.) and live in Germany. Same in the south, working in Switzerland and living in Italy. The Problem in south is, it is much harder to find a Job in the south. And again same in the west, working e.g. in Geneva and living in France.
But then again wages in south/west are something lower than near Zurich

Then you'd be better off living in France. Actually Alsace  .

I'm Swiss too, and while 0x[cantsaytherestoftheusername] has already answered many points I'd like to add my own; A Junior Software Engineer (.Net) gets after their apprenticeship a yearly salary of between ~58000 and ~70'000, depending on how well they've done in their exams.
A Software Engineer (also .Net) may get anything between 70'000 and 100'000 a year, and a Senior Software Engineer may get above 100'000.
Keep in mind that in our industry those levels are specific to every employer, so the border between Software Engineer and Senior may vary by a few grand. It also depends on the products develop - According to a recent survey, pharma pays best.
I've told you the baseline, keep in mind that any 'special' skills (HW programming skills, AI, a MIT degree) get you extra bucks.

Hey Marco, I was about to mention you as a Swiss citizen, but you already posted.

That seems low - it's between 60k€ and 84k€ - or are you talking netto ?

Honestly, it's kinda guesswork - In my perception, if you'd hit the cap and want more cash you'd need to be classified as senior software engineer, otherwise the talent doesn't match the salary.

You must be kidding, that's the monthly pocket money of the average child there.

You already noticed something about Switzerland : you need to go out of the country for it to be holidays, it is not like Switzerland were the size of Texas.

Looking for the line of code that has a tiny squiggle at the end because StyleCop analysers found a trailing whitespace and your code won't compile until you fix it.
It's like a 12hr game of Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo for the North Americans)

Doesn't your editor have a button to bring you directly to the error(s) it's enumerating?
|
|
|
|

If it does I can't find it. Plus I'm too lazy to look. So I'll just keep staring at that screen. Staring...

No problem!
Simply write a parser to go over your code and trim trailing white spaces.
What's wrong with an entire application to find a trailing space? Hmmmm?

Of course! Why didn't I think of that.
It should probably be a VS extension, and should work with all current and future versions in all cultures.
This could take weeks of procrastination productive time saving work.
