I've been working for G Zurich as a L5 SWE for a few years, it's definitely ok but I like to look outside from time to time.
I have no CG/VR/ML background and have been a backend generalist since forever so Meta Zurich is not an option for me.
Other than that, I've spoken to a few companies and headhunters and the evidence so far is that google is a quite isolated island in terms of TC. I've had recruiters/headhunters saying my L5 TC is Senior Director money anywhere else. The only kind of company that I suspect might get close are the hundreds of crypto/trading startups that keep popping up in this area, but that means I'd have to work amongst wallstreet/crypto bros so I've never really considered it.
Has anyone ever found a solid non-Meta alternative for senior SWEs that can compete with Google's TC in this area?
TC: 370k L5

More and more companies are hiring remotely in Switzerland: stripe (as mentioned), GitHub, twitter. There are also a couple of reasonably successful startups/unicorns. Getyourguide comes to mind but no idea what they pay or really anything else about them.
You might also do well looking at companies such as Spotify or others who hire remotely but not specifically in CH. It can sometimes be the case that working in CH would be a possibility.
You’ve probably considered all these options so apologies if so. However with Meta and Apple expanding like crazy in the area it might be worth reaching out to their recruiters.
