The deciding question on 2026-09-09 is a number nobody has, so the
worksheet is a frame to complete before the call rather than a filled-in
answer: Anforderungsniveau K is not public, which is why Q1 exists.
Records the three things that make a Swiss base-to-base comparison lie:
the free GA, Regionalzulage and employer pension share are real money
invisible in a base figure, while a Swisscom bonus is real money SBB
will not match; the GA is a taxable Lohnausweis benefit so its net value
sits below list price; and the GA and the "commute saving" are the same
franken, so counting both flatters SBB by four figures.
K is a capped GAV band with no negotiation lever at the top, so this is
a yes/no against a fixed number, not an opening position.
User's read is that it will not clear. Taking the call regardless: the
questions are worth asking, it is interview practice while NATO JWC,
BIS and Microsoft Principal are still live, and the K figure is the
first real data point on what the entire Bern/Thun local tier pays -
RUAG, Swissgrid, BKW and BFH sit in comparable band structures. Worth
recording whatever the outcome.
