Straight out of uni and looking to start earning big? Well, if you swap London for Zurich you might just have something to write home about.

Salaries for entry-level professionals in Switzerland start on an average £66,671 – almost £40,000 more than your UK counterpart who will only be taking home an average £27, 199 a year.

The report from HR company Towers Watson also showed middle-managers can earn an average of £115,826 in Switzerland, making the UK sum of £75,524 look rather paltry.

On top of the huge cash rewards, life in Switzerland also offers many other perks including excellent outdoor activities and some of the world’s best healthcare.

But, before your eyes flash with franc signs and you hop on the next flight it is important to remember that with big salaries come big prices and generally the cost of living in Switzerland is much higher than in the UK.
