I had a job interview with an American (NASDAQ) company, for their swiss office, recently. They offered around 100k CHF for a 42h/week contract with 5 weeks of vacation.

The wages in Germany are not much worse with a much lower cost of living (and you get less hours per week and more vacation). I found this strange, as Switzerland was known for very high pay in the past.
