It worked for me (Brave). Shows Switzerland as the highest paying (if I had to guess it's due to the financial sector there) with the UK following close behind.

Was happy to see Iceland relatively up there, I've heard there's a strong tech sector in Reykjavik and my wife and I are in love with the country and have entertained hypothetical discussions about relocating there (from Canada), even if temporary.
- tobltobs 2y agoI don't think it is only because the financial sector pays more than average. They don't reach the pay level of FAANG companies having their R&D in Switzerland. Also be assured that this level is only reached in Zurich.
- f1shy 2y agoAnd there, after rent and utilities, I do not think is much difference.
- gunnihinn 2y agoI think the Icelandic data is a bit skewed upwards. It’s showing senior and principal level salaries in large companies, most “normal” devs earn maybe 70% of that.
- f1shy 2y agoSwitzerland has high salaries because of the high cost of living. I would like to see aap adjusted by cost of living.
- fsckboy 2y agoyes, definitely needs to be adjusted for COE. >high salaries because of the high cost of living high salaries will cause high cost of living more than high cost of living will require high salaries (because those jobs could just move away (except for those jobs that can't move away because they are needed to support industries with high pay))
