I'm looking at roles in these two areas. In terms of living a 'comfortable' life, any ideas on what would be a reasonable salary?
By 'comfortable life' I mean: 4 bed house, m2, top-end 3 series or similar and supporting wife and 2 kids they will probably go to State school. The roles I have been looking at have been in the k - k CHF range. Any idea what this would equate to net there seems to be low tax rates in these Cantons? And also, would this be sufficient to live a 'comfortable' life see above in either of these areas?
I've also been looking on englishforums. GillyD posts months. Hi there Quite a few of us live in the Canton of Zug as it happens. I can give you my general views on life here but others will be better equiped to advise on tax - I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment and each Canton sets its own tax rate. Anyway, here goes Zug is a very small canton but there are a lot of expats here due to the low tax rates which have encouraged many companies to move here.
Because so many companies are here, housing is a real headache. In fact you will be unlikely to find a house, the Swiss don't really do the house thing so you're more likely to find an apartment. I think it would be fair to estimate that a 4 bed, sq m apartment would cost anywhere from CHF 4, per month, often a lot more - with companies paying the rent, landlords can command big money.
The good thing is that the standard of housing is generally quite high and well maintained. In terms of location, there are lots of nice places in the canton - Zug itself is expensive - the old town is beautifully picturesque but it comes at a price which generally excludes parking!
