    600CHF for Zurich; is that good/bad/indifferent?

    It's been quite some time since I last worked abroad, so I'm completely out of touch with the market rates. 600CHF seems low for Zurich, but what do the panel think?
    Cheers,

    Plenty of threads discussing exactly this. Some of them might be a bit old but can't imagine anything has changed enough to still make them valid.

    One thread asks about 750 and the general consensus is that is low but possible if you've nothing else. That would make yours very low but with the same caveat.

          it depends what you do and how good you are.
          If you're cleaning windows I think it's a damn good rate.
          If you're a senior solution architect it's tulipe.

              Very roughly a take home of ₤6700, which includes expenses allowances and then subtract ₤1500 - 2000.

              So not really worth it.
              I'm alright Jack

                Is that per hour or per day?

                  Per day.

                  Further research identified the agency and client as being HQd in India. So that'll be three red flags.

                  Oh well, it would have been nice to add Zurich to the list. Maybe next time.

                    In that case, no.
