How is the scene in Switzerland?

Afaik, St Gallen is the target and analysts are getting paid CHF 120k+ per annum. Is it really true? Also how is the HF or PE scene in Switzerland and do people relocate to NY after working the junior years in Switzerland?

Base salary is usually 125-140k. Total comp 150-160k for an1. However there are very few spots as people don’t tend to exit asap as they have a comfortable position

 

Worth mentioning that the cost of living is pretty high therefore the higher salaries, but for sure a good place to be from what I heard.

 

ah, but when we compare costs with NYC, it turns out that Zurich is cheaper (by ~16%, including rent).
