Job Situation of ETH Alumni: Results of the ETH Alumni Survey

Abstract

How do ETH alumni fare in the world of work? How satisfied are they with their job and how much do they earn? Do they think that they perform interesting tasks? How many are in a leadership position? And are there differences between female and male graduates? This report answers these and related questions by summarizing the key findings of an incentivized online survey among ETH alumni that we fielded between November 2019 and January 2020. The survey is the result of a joint initiative between researchers from the KOF Swiss Economic Institute, the ETH Alumni Association, and kununu, an online labor market platform specialized in employer ratings (www.kununu.com). The aim of the survey was to better understand the labor market situation of ETH alumni. In the future, the survey data will be used as a basis for research projects at KOF that will be enriched with data from kununu.
