Just moved to Zurich today, starting at Google in two weeks. QoL is amazing, TC is probably among the highest (base definitely is) and CoL is manageable with Google's benefits and stuff.
TC?
Zurich hands down. It is the only place with the same comp as Bay Area and it’s really nice in Zurich
One of the only places. I think NYC is another.
Very curious how you have all these options ? Did you explore them from Europe or from US itself ? Is it even possible to explore these options from US itself ? Anyone tried this ?
From Europe.
I’d say Zurich for quality of life, London if you want to live in a city. Zurich should be most expensive (lookup Mercer reloc guides, ask HR). Munich should be cheapest. But if you’re not native European, Munich is really bad. Ask around, esp. any highly educated, motivated individuals who happen to be minorities. Fuck that city, and its people. But almost all other cities in Germany, and their residents, are awesome.
Don’t do it. Both cities are shitholes. Zürich on the other hand is amazing.
Can you please provide some reasoning? I also have Zurich as an option.
I heard london pays only half of zurich
