Abstract

The ETH Career Center presents information on salaries, wage bargaining, and all related aspects to help students navigate the process and provide them with an idea of what to expect in their next job interview. This session is offered on an annual basis. 

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, students will have learned why it is important to know their own salary expectations before going to an interview; the difference between salary and total compensation, and why it is important to consider the later when using salary as a decision criteria for accepting a job; how/when to approach the salary topic during an interview; how companies define salary bands and how much negotiation is possible.

Content

During this presentation, students listen to ETH Career Center coaches and sometimes other experts (e.g. Swiss Engineering,...) presenting information on the learning topics. They can ask questions either during the presentation or at the end during the Q&A. The interactive part consists of polls, questions to the audience.
