本科生月薪期望值最高的十个国家

According to a new survey by Universum, a global research and advisory firm, Swiss students have the highest starting salary expectations of all undergraduates across the globe.
据全球性研究和咨询公司优兴咨询（Universum）的一项最新调查显示，瑞士学生在全球所有大学生中对起薪的期望最高。

As part of its 2013 global student survey, Universum asked 432, 099 undergrads in 24 countries: What is your expected monthly salary (before tax) in your first job after graduation (excluding commission and bonus)?
作为其2013年全球学生调查的一部分，优兴咨询询问了24个国家的432,099名学生：毕业之后，你期望第一份工作的月薪（税前）是多少（不包括佣金和奖金）？

“For most companies, salary is what we call a ‘threshold’ attribute, meaning that people have minimum expectations around salary and as long as an offer comes in around those expectations, it is not a differentiator when someone is choosing between more than one employer. In order to make sure a company’s salary isn’t outside of that range (unless that is a deliberate decision) it is necessary to understand what expectations are, ” says Melissa Murray Bailey, Universum’s president of Americas.
“对于大多数公司来说，月薪是我们所称的‘阈值’属性，这表示人们对月薪有最低期望值，只要一份工作与这些期望值相差不多，当一个学生在不止一位雇主中间进行选择时，这就不会成为一个构成差别的要素。为了确保一家公司的月薪不在这个范围之外（除非公司有意做出这样的决定），就有必要对这些期望值加以了解，”优兴咨询美洲总裁梅丽莎?默里?贝利（Melissa Murray Bailey）如是说。

She adds: “It is essential for employers to understand their target group so that they can build an attractive message. Recruiters need to prepare for interviews and discussions with students in the same way that sales people prepare for their meetings – you need to know what possible stumbling blocks can be in advance and be prepared to address them. Understanding what students will expect with regards to salary is an important input.”
她还说：“雇主需要了解他们的目标群体，这样，他们才能传达富有吸引力的信息。招聘人员需要准备与学生进行的面试和讨论，正如销售人员为他们与客户的会面所做的准备一样——你必须预先了解可能出现的绊脚石，并做好准备解决它们。了解学生对于薪资有什么期望，这是一个重要的信息。”

For a second consecutive year, Swiss students have the highest salary expectations coming out of school. According to Universum, they expect to earn $7, 062 (USD) per month, on average (before tax; excluding commission and bonus), in their first post-graduation gig. That’s about $84, 730 per year—which, according to Nelly Riggenbach Hasler, vice president of EMEA employer branding and talent attraction at Universum, is a realistic entry level salary. “These expectations are not too farfetched, ” she says.
瑞士已连续第二年成为本科学生月薪期望值最高的国家。据优兴咨询称，他们期待毕业后第一份工作的平均月薪能有7062美元（税前，不包含佣金和奖金）。那也就是说年薪为84,730美元——据优兴欧洲、中东和非洲雇主品牌打造和人才吸引副总裁耐莉?里根巴赫?哈斯勒（Nelly Riggenbach Hasler）表示，这是一个现实的入门级薪资水平。“这些期望值并不是太牵强。”她说。

Why does Switzerland top the list?
瑞士为何会高居榜首？

“The cost of living in Switzerland is extremely high, ” she says, “But also given that the unemployment rate is 3%, the talent pool is rather dry. Switzerland is very much dependent on being an attractive market for talent outside the country, and I would clearly state that [Switzerland] faces a talent centric labor market. Furthermore; the difference between the entry salary and what you earn five years into your career is not as dramatic as in other countries.”
“瑞士的生活成本相当高，”她说，“但同时鉴于其3%的失业率，其人才库面临枯竭。瑞士非常依赖于保持其对国外人才的吸引力，我要清楚地指出，瑞士面对着一个以人才为中心的劳动力市场。此外，大学毕业生起薪和你工作五年后的薪资之间的差别并不像其他国家那么明显。”

Female students in Switzerland say they expect to earn around $6, 468 per month after school; while male undergrads hope to rake in $7, 454. The difference between these two numbers ($986 per month) makes Switzerland the country with the largest salary expectation gap between genders.
瑞士的女大学生表示她们期望毕业之后的月薪大约是6,468美元；然而，男大学生则期望是7,454美元。这两个数字之间的差异（月薪相差986美元）使瑞士成为两性之间薪资期望值差距最大的国家。

“This is not a new phenomenon and there have been lots of studies done about the lower expectations of women, ” Bailey says. “The more interesting question is: Why do women continue to earn less? Women tend to be more modest about their worth and trust that they will be fairly compensated based on their contributions.”
“这不是一个新出现的现象，我们就女性期望值较低的情况做过很多研究，”贝利表示，“更有趣的问题是：为什么女性的收入继续低于男性？女性对于她们的价值持更为谦逊的态度，并相信根据她们的贡献会获得公平的酬劳。”

The Universum survey found that Norwegian students have the second-highest salary expectations. Undergraduates in Norway expect to make $6, 556 per month, on average–or $78, 672 per year, before tax, commission and bonuses.
优兴咨询的调查结果显示薪水期望值第二高的是挪威的学生。挪威大学生期待每月平均能赚6,556美元——或者年薪78,672美元（税前，不包含佣金和奖金）。
