Some Swiss IT-highlights include:<p>- The biggest Google software engineering office outside California (around 2000 employees).<p>- Logitec, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco<p>- ETH university<p>- Many ETH-spinoff&#x2F;startups: Doodle, Bitspin (bought by Google), Teralytics, Archilogic, Fashwell, Getyourguide, Numbrs and I surely forgot many others.<p>It is a great place to live and is the only place where net-salaries are on par with New York &#x2F; SF. Salaries are in the range of 7000 - 10.000 CHF &#x2F; month after taxes. However apartments can be way cheaper than in San Francisco.
