Google MV vs Google Zurich net $$ savings after expenses?
I know currencies are different, but if someone can tell me that after all expenses and taxes, where can I save more USD, it would be great. Taking about L4 and L5 levels in google.
Can someone? Definitely. Will someone? Probably not.

Zurich pays more, expenses about the same
Incorrect, Zurich pays *less*. Especially for higher levels, stocks are basically half of the US offers. And no other comparable FANGs nearby to job hop to, you'll get hit by vesting cliff and TC will lag behind what you can make in the Bay Area. You save some money on taxes and rent though, so net savings at L4-L5 probably about comparable
What are you talking about? Zurich has the highest pay grade. There's an internal database that speaks to this
Op, can you DM me.
Things like food and consumer goods like clothing are more expensive in Zurich. Rent is more expensive in MTV. If your goal is to save the most money possible, I think the best path is start in MTV, get some refreshers and buy stuff in advance that's cheaper in the USA, then transf to Zurich, eat at work most of the time and don't buy much stuff. If comparing MTV start vs. Zurich start, I think Zurich wins out if you need to rent a large property (ex: full house for a family) and MTV wins out if you plan to live with roommates.
Great insights. thanks
Great feedback!
Probably comparable
