Switzerland is also not in the EU and is completely different from all the other countries. It's the only place in Europe where engineers can earn Bay Area salaries.

What is your problem? Firms not following up or what? If yes, the reason might be that HR is overworked and you should just follow up every 5 days or so to see how far they are with your application. I run coderfit.com, a niche tech recruit

As mentioned in the other comments. Switzerland is the only place where salaries are on par with the US. But you can't just work here if you are not a EU passport holder or married to one.

I can pull up prices for other goods, too if you want. Especially rents (in e.g., Munich where I lived all my life) went up similarly while salaries stagnate. Munich rents are on par with Swiss rents, which is crazy if one looks at the diff
