I wonder why googles biggest European office is in the low tax high salary country of Switzerland

That's the biggest engineering office, but not the biggest overall European Google office, right? That would be in low tax low salary Ireland.

Ireland is neither of those, fwiw. I get pretty decent money here, and pay a marginal rate of 52% on everything over 80k.

Zurich is third behind Dublin (definitely for tax reasons) and London.
