Hey everyone I just received an offer from a German tech company that is currently expanding into Switzerland. Role: Senior Generative AI Engineer (~40% of responsibilities also include helping build up the Swiss branch, sales support, and future leadership). Offer: 115k CHF base + 25k CHF variable (140k CHF total package). Since this is an expansion/pioneering role, I feel like the variable part is way too high and risky. I want to negotiate for a 140k CHF fixed base salary instead. Is 115k base / 140k total realistic or too low for a Senior AI engineering role with these responsibilities in Switzerland? How would you approach negotiating to shift the variable bonus into the fixed base salary? Would love to get some insights on the salary range and how you would handle this. I’m 30, male, 10 years practical experience in software engineering, consulting, project and change management. Thanks! submitted by /u/Status-Respond-5733
