Good points.
Berlin has definitively a bigger Startup scene and generally more companies to pick from than Zurich.
In terms of salary you have to also account for taxes (100k in Germany will be taxed at around 45% and in Switzerland (Zurich) around 30%.
- ramblerman 8y agoI also think Berlin is a city full of culture and brimming with life. As a single male/female, zurich and geneva can get quite dull imo

- krn 8y ago> in Zurich you have a crystal clear lake where you can swim There are more than 30 lakes in Berlin[1], and more than 100 lakes around it[2].

- austinjp 8y agoWell yes, but some Swiss taxes are applied at the point of sale e.g. trash bags, which are very expensive. It's not straightforward to compare salaries in these circumstances.
