> Go to Spain, same salary

The difference is that in Switzerland you get paid that salary every month, not over the full year. (I’m exaggerating, but not that much.)

Edit: by the way, the “less taxes” remark is also quite funny.

You're totally exaggerating, been living in Spain for the past 10 years and previously worked in Switzerland, I often get job offers from Swiss companies and the difference is minimal.

Either you are too lucky/unlucky and your experience is not typical or you think that a factor of two (at least) is minimal.

> Same salary? That's funny! I lived in Spain before moving to Switzerland. Regarding "free healthcare" and "better weather, no crunch culture, better social life" yeah, I agree on that!

As a trans woman, Spain is also one of the only parts of Europe where hormones are easily accessible, so if I ended up having to live in Europe, no other country would be an option.
