Everyone planning to go to Switzerland to work should keep in mind living costs (prices) of basic things overthere. It is significantlly more expencive then rest of the Europe.
Very good web site to check certain rules (helth insurance, pension, import of car,Tax rules etc), prices of accomodation..is
www.comparis.ch .
Just a few tips:
- You have to pay health insurance for yourself from your neto salary each month , very basic one is around 400CHF p/m. (but with very high francise)
- internet,phone,TV costs are much more than in France ,Belgium or Germany
- General check up with GP doctor will cost you easily 200CHF
- for 2000CHF p/m you can NOT rent a decent appartment in Zurich, so if you come with familly it is very expencive for accomodation
- Be careful if you receive more that 120.000CHF per/year you will go under special tax regime, will be additionally taxed.
- Flights to/from Zurich are the most expencive ones in the Europe, I don't know why but check it on some flight boooking web sites.
I would say it is not worth going to Skyguide to any position without 160.000 CHF as a minimun.
