To be fair Facebook come in at 70k in London.
- taurath 10y ago70k in London is like 70k in SF. Pretty incredible if you ask me. Must be a cost center.
- sjg007 10y agoIt's $85k usd. So yes low.
- pleasecalllater 10y agoAs I was looking for some remote job in UK, Ireland, and USA, I noticed that the salaries in Europe are generally lower than in the US. No much lower, but there is a noticeable difference between $120k in US, and $80k in Europe for the same position, similar company, and contract in both cases.
- jcadam 10y agoAnd I'm also assuming that remote positions in Europe aren't going to include any medical insurance. Which makes those jobs a total no-go for an American.
- jerednel 10y agoThat's still pretty high for a London wage though. While living costs are the same, salaries are about half across the board in London. Just moved back from there.
- taurath 10y agoI suspect that the finance industry doesn't have that problem in London. Someone's buying up all the 2mil quid houses (other than oil wealthy investors).
- kkhire 10y agohow do people get by with 70K in london?
- Wintamute 10y agoDude ... you can "get by" on £70K in London. Most people get by on MUCH less. £70K would get you a nice rental flat, eating out anytime you like and still saving about £20-30K a year. And that's if you're single, if you're sharing expenses you could save more.
- mino 10y ago"get by", seriously? The median salary for London is £34,473 (2015 data).
- Ended 10y agoPeople get by with a lot less. The median household income in London was £39k in 2013 [1] [1] https://data.london.gov.uk/apps_and_analysis/gla-household-income-estimates/ https://data.london.gov.uk/apps_and_analysis/gla-household-i...
- SirHound 10y agoWith that salary you could easily save £1500 a month
- expertentipp 10y agoIf the salaries are half, is the recruiting process accordingly easier in London?
- pyb 10y agoI've heard that Google pay less in London than they do in any of their US offices.
