Default Switzerland Salaries

I'm looking for help on salary expectations I should have for working in Switzerland.
I currently live in the US. I'm 42 yoa and I work as a chemical engineer and earn about $115k. I'm visiting my potential new employer next week, and have no idea what my negotiating strategy should be.
I figure that currently in terms of buying power that :

1 dollar in US = 1 Euro in Europe,

but, because of the dollar's depreciation :

1 dollar US = 0.70 Euro

And then, salaries in Europe are generally lower. So, between all the permutations, I don't know where to begin. Can anyone provide me with some guidance on what to expect.

I appreciate any help. Seosamh.
