Which at current exchange rates is just over 800CHFs. Bear in mind that a couple of years ago, Switzerland was still considered expensive, and £500 then was over 1200CHFs. ( Prices and rates have not changed much since then either) ).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -
I was quoted something like 1100CHF - 1200CHF a day (before the 30% tax) and was told it was about £570 (can't remember the exact amount). I didn't do any maths..... and it sounded like a good deal at the time.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWhich at current exchange rates is just over 800CHFs.

Have now been offered a role with Fujitsu... am waiting for feedback regarding L & G. Both roles via the same agency. What are the odds of losing both roles?Originally posted by NotAllThere View Post

The bench is cosy. But I want the role with L & G (or at least the one in Switzerland). Have been approached by an agency for a role in a bank in Brussells. Times must be hard if agencies are now approaching me for overseas roles.Originally posted by norrahe View PostCongrats

Ok, if you insist. I've taken on the Fujitsu role in the end. I don't think the other agent (who is allegedly working hard to get me the L & G role) will be too happy.Originally posted by norrahe View PostShhhh! go on shooo, off with you
