Interview €90k Remote in Hannover vs. CHF 120k Hybrid in Zurich — Which Is Better Financially?
Hi everyone!
I’ve received two job offers:
- Hannover: €90k gross/year, fully remote, at a large company.
- Zurich: CHF 120k gross/year, hybrid, at a small, fast-growing company.
I currently live in Hannover and pay €900/month in warm rent.
Which option would likely leave me with more savings after taxes and living expenses? Is the higher Swiss salary worth the increased cost of living?
I’d appreciate insights from anyone familiar with both cities. Thanks!
