Well no, I can’t chose that. But at least they keep the bonus rather stable and potentially growing. 2021 was an outliner. I’m not really dependent on it. With my new base salary I’ll be able to save 3k/month.

3k per month is great!
Do you have kids / dependents ?

Single, no kids. To give some additional back story: I started as an intern at this bank in 2016 and worked my way up. Now I work in Private Banking. I’m 34 now and my salary will probably flatten out once I’m closer to 40. I expect it to be somewhere around 180-190k.

Cortana inspired me to analyse my salary progression.
28 years old, no kids
2012-2015 apprenticeship
2016-2019 Bachelor studies + student job
2020-2022 Master studies + part-time job
Salary should remain stable as I work for the government now.

What’d be telling is people coming to CH from poorer countries, then we’d see 4-10x increases in salary 😉

I’d love to work. GF has a job in ZH. Therefore, I feel somewhat tied to one of the most expensive cities in the world.

(Adding “line of work” would be useful, so we can stop crying inside while looking at some of these)

Asset management in Zurich.
I know it looks good. But this is rather low to average among for comparable profiles.
Also, the recent workload is insane and not sustainable…

Where do you work that you get such jumps every year?
Edit: Ok just read the answer ^^

How many YoE? This is impressive.
I am not in the same industry but my salary is way below and I am considered highly skilled (and with prestigious degrees)

About 15 years total experience. But different jobs…

Still working 90%, but this works way worse than 80% did (work doesn’t stop at 13:00 and people assume I’d still be answering). Considering moving back to 100% to give me another raise from the Fall.

2025 update:
305k base + bonus, 225k stock
CHF.USD is not great right now as the stock is denominated in USD and all our expenses are denominated in CHF. I guess I need to ramp up the cash saving rate to compensate. The ceiling I alluded to last year has been reached more or less.
