What else should you consider?

A higher gross salary does not automatically mean that it is worth going abroad. HOGASTJOB tells you which other aspects you should keep in mind.

Factors that influence salary

Regional differences, size of the company, seasonal work or annual position: all of these can influence how much money you actually go home with in the end.

Cost of living

Differences in taxes, insurance, pensions, rent, food, etc. can quickly eat up a higher salary. Although salaries are significantly higher in Switzerland, the cost of living is also higher. Therefore, before moving to one of the other Alpine countries, you should carefully consider whether you will still be better off financially.

By the way: cross-border commuters can sometimes enjoy the higher salary of the neighboring country - while at the same time benefiting from the low cost of living in their home country. But even this is not always possible or advisable.

Working conditions

Working conditions can also vary. In Switzerland, for example, only four weeks' vacation per year is common, while in Austria it is five. The details of the working conditions can best be found in the respective collective agreements.

Quality of life

A stable wage and economic development, the scenic beauty of a region, the leisure facilities or the proximity to family and friends: Think about which aspects contribute significantly to your quality of life! A higher salary does not always justify suffering from constant homesickness or feeling miserable in your new home ..
