I assume you haven't looked at Switzerland?

  As someone that lived two years in Switzerland and still goes there regularly, don't forget how much things actually cost, the high value is artificial given how much even basic supermarkt good cost.

    > the high value is artificial given how much even basic supermarkt good cost Compared with which location? My experience is that you're way better off in Zurich than, say, London where you'll end up having similar costs. https://livingcost.org/cost/london/zurich https://livingcost.org/cost/london/zurich illustrates that. Zurich seems similar to San Jose: https://livingcost.org/cost/san-jose-us/zurich https://livingcost.org/cost/san-jose-us/zurich. Prices in most supermarkets are high, but I've come to understand this as most consumers being price-indifferent for groceries, at least in Zurich, because it represents little of their overall costs anyway. If you want to save on groceries, Lidl is way cheaper than Coop/Migros, but many consumers prefer convenience. That's not even including the case of people living in Basel / Geneva who buy groceries in Germany / France such that Swiss prices don't matter to them.

  i have only seen few offers from switzerland, and i didn't see anything that stood out. i am only looking at remote jobs though. that may skew my perception. i did notice that switzerland had a higher average compared to the rest of europe when looking at statistics.
