>For anyone wondering I did some Googling: average salary for a software developer in London is £43k (£32.6k after tax), and San Francisco is £77k (£52k after tax), about 60% higher. Cost of living in San Francisco is about 15% higher. This doesn't include healthcare or property taxes so take it with a grain of salt. What. 77k? From what I hear on HN here everyone earning less than $150k as a software engineer in the US is selling themselves short.
