My only comment is that the proportions aren't actually the same :).
In Zurich you're netting three times what a German software engineer makes, but everything is only twice as expensive.
96,500CHF is also a fairly conservative estimate. If you work at e.g. Google, you can reasonably expect twice that amount after 2-3 years working there (factoring in bonuses and stock). The tax rate is also lower compared to Germany, especially when you reach larger sums of money.
