Working in Switzerland

Switzerland is known as Europe’s high-wage country. In many professions, salaries are significantly higher than in neighbouring countries — up to 1.5 to 2 times higher than, for example, in Germany. Skilled professionals in the fields of medicine, healthcare and engineering are in particularly high demand and are therefore paid well above average. In addition, Switzerland offers attractive social benefits, a stable economy and an international working environment with a high quality of life.
