You can get the high salary in Zurich, although if you're already in Zurich you'd be better off working in finance. Source: my colleague who moved to Google Zurich and then switched jobs to finance.

Not surprising, given the strong financial sector whose employees you compete with. London is similar in this aspect.

On the other hand the public transport is great, which means you don't have to live in the most expensive areas to have decent commute.

I think it's something close to SRE but don't quote me on that.
