On: Google Is Tops for Software Engineer Salaries

[chnoogler]

Sure there are. I'll be starting at Google Switzerland the coming month with a considerably larger base salary. I'm nothing fancy at that, a fresh university grad with only a year of real programming experience.

Ok Switzerland might be a special case, salaries have traditionally been higher there as in the rest of europe, cost of living is also alot higher though.

CH doesn't count I think, non engineering roles in Zurich are already very well paid when converted to EUR (e.g 60k CHF for construction workers).

Isn't minimum wage like 20 euros an hour in .ch? That's a lot higher than the US :)
