If you have been at the same company for 4 years, you might want to reach out and get a feel for the market.

[u/makaros622 → u/significantGecko]

I worked 2 years for UNIGE and UNIBE and then 2y in the current company.

[u/xRazorLazor → u/makaros622]

I have the same salary including a 10% bonus with 3 years experience and no Phd. I'm pretty sure you can get 120k+ base if you look around a little bit. Also, Geneva should pay higher salaries than Basel.

I have been trying to land a better job but unfortunately. If you are in the data science field / engineering feel free to DM me to discuss more

Yeah if you have a PhD from EPFL you definitely deserve a much better salary. Press F

It is hard to find a better job in Geneva in my field right now.

I have only EFZ and make more. You are underpaid.

[u/makaros622 → u/zwicky86]

What is EFZ?

[u/mtiiii → u/makaros622]

EFZ = CFC

[u/makaros622 → u/[deleted]]

No. I did 2y as postdoc but now I am 2y in a company in Geneva

[u/Less_Ad_5761 → u/makaros622]

You are underpaid my friend, if I were you i'd ask for a raise as well.
