Credit Suisse: VP, SVP level
Hi, quick question: how would you relate/ compare Vice President or Senior VP level at Credit Suisse to a non-bank company lets say Novartis, Roche or Sulzer. Is it middle mgmt? Senior? I understand bank titles/levels are a bit different. What fringe benefits are offered to those at the VP level at CS? Appreciate any info.

Duty free
Hey everyone
I would love to know if I can buy a nespresso coffee machine at duty free?
Would love one for when I'm in the uk and if I can get one cheaper, why not. Extra pennies can be spent on capsules!

ETH PhD - Neuroscience, biomechanics
Hi there,
I stumbled across this forum and have read a number of posts concerning PhD program at ETH - thanks to all for the great info so far. I'm interested in applying to two labs at ETH, in Biomechanics (Ferguson's lab) or in the SMS lab (R. Riener). I have a MSc with a 3.7 GPA, some publications and abstracts, tonnes of teaching experience, and clinical work as a neurophysiologist.
As I'm coming from Canada, making a decision to study here is one I do not take lightly. After some investigation, I feel ETH could be a great start to my research career. I also have some ideas about what I'd like to do, and a direction in which I'd like to focus my subsequent career. I'm currently working on an application and familiarizing myself with each lab's projects, before making the initial contact. I haven't yet solidified a specific plan for each department, however. I'm fully aware of the workload involved in a PhD, and am not put off by it.
In any event, some questions:
1. My biggest concern is supervisor-student relationships, and fit within the group(s). Is anyone familiar with Ferguson's or Riener's labs? If so, could you give me the low down on the environment, personalities etc? If not with these labs, with these programs in general? Anyone to strongly avoid?
2. If you are familiar with these labs, do you have any suggestions on how I should approach Dr. Ferguson/Dr. Riener?
3. I know ETH pays their students well, and although it is not my main concern, it is still somewhat of a concern. I know that the % salary is largely dependent on the lab/supervisor. Is anyone familiar with approximate salaries for these two labs? In previous graduate work, I've been given a contract with a specific salary, and ended up not receiving anything for months. I definitely don't want to have this experience again.
4. I come from an exercise science background, with graduate courses and RA experience in a biomechanics lab. Could anyone tell me how math/computer science/engineering-based these programs are? What kind of preparation should I undertake to ensure I could keep up? I am going through some Matlab, calculus and linear algebra study right now.
5. If I want to begin work in roughly a year, when should I approach the supervisors with whom I am interested in working?
6. Do all departments require an interview?
I think this is it for now. Many thanks for your help.

Would it really make any difference?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23967547
While I appreciate the need to get the system working better, do they really think that most of the drivers mentioned would stop driving even if they were banned? I very much doubt it. They're the sort that flout the rules regularly and couldn't give a toss if they're banned or not.

Stranger Danger
This was all over the UK news yesterday, highlighting how kids can be so easily lured away by a stranger.
Most of these kids had had the "Stranger Danger" talk from their parents but it seems the problem is that kids can't work out what a dangerous stranger actually is.
How do you get this across to your kids?

B Permit Application Proof - Canton of Luzern
Hello,
I am an EU citizen, just arrived in Lucerne. I have applied for my B permit a few days ago, and will begin to work in approximately 10 days. I was trying to buy a car, but I've been told that in order to register the car, I will need some proof that I've applied for my B permit. However, the migration office told me they cannot provide any proof, and that I will have to wait 4 weeks until it is processed. Is it not possible to show some proof that I've applied for my B permit? Thanks in advance for your advice!!!
