What do Googlers in London make vs those in Mountain View / SF? If you're comparing a cohort to Googlers, the only applicable cohort for comparison is other Googlers (or FB). This is because even in SF/SV, they make significantly more than your average VC backed hot startup dev, factoring in total comp and liquidity considerations for equity packages.
If you're at a VC backed startup in London, then you should compare your compensation to other VC backed startup devs in SF/SV. I'm not familiar with NYC salaries, but $110k base is definitely much more than "half" of what your typical startup senior dev is making in SF.
