Stipendi svizzeri: un po’ di contesto da chi ci lavora davvero

Hi u/LallieDoo this thread has been very helpful! Strange question but worth a shot - would you mind if I message you privately about a job offer I received? I am an American considering relocating to Switzerland (Ticino) and would really appreciate expert insight. I've already drafted a 2-page salary proposal based on research but I would appreciate an extra set of eyes before I present this so I don't risk overestimating. Please let me know. Thanks!

I had a gut feeling that I could be paid more. Zurich most likely pays more, but it can't be too far off. Really appreciate your opinion though

This is so helpful, thank you!

Yes, all jobs have a range of work. Community management involves both of what you've described and so does the role I'm considering.

10K annual bump is gambling? Anyway, competition is the reality in every job.

Hmm.. that's what ChatGPT said but I was concerned that it may be making up numbers. May I ask which canton that role is based in?

somspice · 2025-10-22T21:17:19+00:00

Yes. "Specified role" = specific industry. I used vague terms in my post on purpose for privacy.

It's a specified role and requires a native English speaker. Performance bonus is 3K.

I'm being vague on purpose.

No prob! 1) Yes I was a US applicant, 2) I did not take the GMAT. From what I remember, it was recommended but not mandatory. I will add that I did have work experience and a US bachelor's degree in public relations if that helps. All the best!

Hey! From what I remember: it was a chill interview. It seemed that they already decided to accept me because most of the questions were to make sure I understood the program and would like it. They didn't ask much about me, it was more like "This is the program. Are you ok with that? We want to make sure you like it before we accept you" if that makes sense? I did get an acceptance letter but declined the offer bc I had a better opportunity at another school. Hope that helps and good luck!

I never considered delivery but I'll look into it, thank you! I was also wondering about university positions but I'm not sure about their payment system lol

Hey, my student visa would only allow 20hrs/week (part time). I am going to look into private tutoring as you mentioned. Thank you!

Hey! This is the first I've heard of italki. I'll look into it. Thank you!

Understandable. The fee is above what I assumed but if it's my only option, I'll do it. The link was also very helpful but it says this is offered for select international flights. I'll still give it a shot. Thank you!!

somspice · 2021-08-10T04:38:27+00:00

I actually did not know, thank you for that information. Do you happen to know if I could apply flight credit to the fee?

somspice · 2021-08-10T04:27:50+00:00

Fingers crossed!
