Interesting claim, where do you gather that data? The quick results I got where from a 2024 report on TheNextWeb claiming its around 90k USD equivalent in Switzerland https://thenextweb.com/news/european-cities-highest-salaries...

Market rate for a senior engineer in much, much poorer Poland exceeds 80k at current exchange rates - ask me how I know.

I also had a contract in Switzerland for a brief, beautiful moment and in 2020 it was not weird to have an hourly rate exceeding 90CHF/h in this role.

Permanent employees were making anywhere in the range of 100-130k CHF, so the 140k USD figure is close adjusted for inflation.

Thanks for the data, 117500 CHF converted today is around 148k USD, and that means being in the top 25%

It clearly says that the median is 110k CHF ~ 140k USD
