I totally agree with Attila...Switzerland is definitely best country for 
IT.     Two years ago went in Geneva for a job interview for a position 
of network engineer.  The company (Interoute) offered 5k euro/month for 
a 12h x 4days a week job on their network infrastructure for west 
Europe. Unfortunately couldn't get the job (4 positions available, 
selected as one of the 4, but in a second stage headquarters in Prague 
decided to get only 2 and was not among best 2) but never found any 
better offer so far
