I just got an offer from Accenture Switzerland, Total Comp 170K with 140K base. I have 6YOE as IT consultant and 9YOE in total. I am just upset that they did not offer me a relocation package of 20k because the cost of living in Zurich for a family with 1 child is crazy! Should I insist for a sign on bonus before accepting the offer?

That's a solid offer, to be honest. Maybe you can negotiate or make some arrangements. You can also ask for a sign-on bonus but to me, the offer is great. Congrats! :)

Good offer! It's also my dream to work in Europe! Yes, negotiate on the sign-on bonus. Best of luck!

Just asking, where are you from guys?

I don't know your specific role, but in Switzerland in IT you can reach 130k + 10% with 4 years of experience

Look at the big picture instead. Is the whole package a great offer or just enough to make the move? You can always ask politely about their relocation policy and tell them about your findings. Then ask them if they can help you and let them come back to you. I would also try to speak with the hiring manager, this is the time to negotiate . If it’s a great package or a great opportunity don’t be too greedy, be thankful for the opportunity. Be strong and stay positive…. Congratulations btw!

You can try but don't be too pushy. Got to agree with you that cost of living in Zurich is too expensive compared to other EU countries. You can negotiate and explain to them your point in negotiating. .

It's not a bad offer at all for Zurich tbh - but yes no relocation package is ridiculous

About 250 possibly but its a true outlier

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
