    Demand for statisticians is crazy ...

    ...Salaries for permies have reached 6 figures (in GBP) in Switzerland and Germany and are rising fast here.
    One of my mates who's doing bog standard pharma work in Zurich is on the equivalent of £150k (permie)
    And judging from the emails I'm getting this is standard.
    Don't know what it's like in finance.
    Hard Brexit now!

    I know a few actuaries, they do alright.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Actuaries have always done well.
        I'm talking about people without the years of actuarial training - a simple Masters in Stats is sufficient for the big bucks nowadays. Could be a plan B for one or two on here.
        Hard Brexit now!

                Any examples? Current advertised roles? Jobserve, recruitment sites, etc?
                You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

                  Send your CV to any rec cons dealing with Pharma in germany or Switzerland.
                  With a stats MSc and the right experience you can get the figures I'm quoting.
