Best salaries I have seen in Switzerland/London are around 140K CHF or £120k as permanent or 650-700 per day as contractor. That is around 155k USD permie and roughly the same considering 10 months employment as contractor. This is a quite rare and top salary in both market but seems a fairly common salary in Bay Area/NYC. Never seen anything above that here in Europe. Also the big bonus/shares culture is not as prevalent in Europe. Anyone here making more than that or knows anyone that does?
