Google MtView -> Zurich

Jun 29, 2021 9 Comments

Any current Googlers able to tell me what the pay cut is like (as a %) for moving from MtView to Zurich?

Got an L5 MtView offer but am European (have a green card via US spouse) and would like to return here in a few years.

Obligatory current TC:
160k GBP at E5

Offer:
350k USD at L5

    Base will be similar if not slightly higher due to an ever strong CHF.
    Stock refreshes will be 30% below.

    But taxes will be around 25% for a 300K+ TC and housing is much MUCH more affordable than MTV.

    Except for housing the CoL is actually higher than MTV, but since you spend most of your money in housing you are better off.

    My TC is 360K CHF as L5 (390K USD) and I save 55% of it each year after taxes, rent, vacation and expenses.
    I live in a modern 130 m^2 apartment.

    Also there is no tax on capital gains.

    Refreshers will be half of MTV. Though you continue vesting your existing ‘merican sized grants as is, so smart choice to start in the US
