If it's strictly EU, I'd say probably Denmark

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_...

But you mention Switzerland which is not in the EU, so maybe you just meant Europe?

Ireland is a little lower on the list but has a large number of European HQs of big companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Paypal, AirBnb etc. But the price of housing here is extortionate right now.

Consider the cost of living, not just the highest salary. Norway, Denmark and Switzerland are among the most expensive places to live in the world. You'll pay a lot of your wages in rent, food, tax, utilities etc.

Your wikipedia reference doea not mention Luxembourg. The median salary is more than 20 percent higher than danmark https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/2007306.html and taxes are much lower here too.

Housing is expensive, but that seems to be a global trend.

Denmark is crazy expensive and they have an huge real estate bubble that is going to explode, especially in CPH
This is why you have many people working in Luxembourg and living in France, Germany or Belgium.
