    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) ).

      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.
      If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

        110CHF is closer to 700 quid IIRC

          But yes, you're right. If the rate is 1100-1200CHF, you're doing ok.

            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?

                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.

                      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.
