London, Munich or Zurich as location

I have received offers in those cities but can't decide which location. Companies are Amazon (London) and two pharma firms. Where would you rather live? Tc: £130 (170k in Zurich tbo) Yoe: 8+ PS: Google interviews still on going - backfilling role (London)

London has best city party life, Zurich is much more laid back! It really boils down to your preferences, lifestyle choices..

London sucks hard, worst weather in Europe, extremely expensive and it’s not in EU. Almost the same for Zurich except you will earn much more money as salaries are higher and tax lower. So if you want to pay 30% of your money to live with few skyscrapers and antisocial teens go in UK

If I pick Zurich I'm joining pharma not tech. I also thought about staying in London 1-2 years and then relocate to Zurich later.

Zurich all the way!

+1 on London sucking ass - not sure if the others are better though

I would pick Munich. Cool town in a cool location, with much to see and do nearby. Although I admit I have never been to Zurich.

That's true. Good beer too!

I'm fluent in German that shouldn't be an issue. Thank you for your feedback. I thought similar.

Sandoz and Takeda.

In your 20s, London. Hands down. Munich or Zurich if you're older and ready to live a quiet, calm, steady life.
