"European techies looking for the biggest payday are far better off in Switzerland than anywhere else, with average salaries eclipsing all other countries on the continent. According to recent employment data, the typical expected salary is 106,900 CHF ($137,000), with the highest packages often earned in Zurich, Bern, Geneva, and Thun. The figures comfortably trump those of other major tech hubs in Europe, such as Germany and the UK, where the average salaries for tech jobs are €62,400 ($74,000) and £65,000 ($88,000) respectively."
"Across the board, the top-paying roles in each region are reserved for IT architects, security professionals, and AI/ML experts. Developers with skills in Java, Python, and Go also tend to do well, while those working with PHP or .NET, and those on the helpdesk, are often paid the least. The majority of pros, wherever they land on the pay scales, claim to be unhappy with their compensation."
"Sixty-six percent of the hundreds surveyed by the jobseeking platform thought they should be paid more, although 55 percent agreed that their pay was "manageable," but still not ideal. Fourteen percent of respondents said "it is hard to get by." Salaries were also, perhaps unsurprisingly, the main sticking point for jobseekers, prioritizing pay over pretty much everything else when looking for new roles."
