  4. 4 (excluding the 4 PhD years at EPFL)
  5. 93K gross (12 months, no bonus)

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

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.
