> Here's a slightly related open question: Are Engineers in the US just much richer than in the UK? On average/median, a big richer (a bit more than the higher GDP per capita would imply) The dramatic difference will be comparing the 90th percentiles (top 10% of engineers). The target companies pay new grads $120-150k total compensation (across salary, annual bonus, and equity). If you change jobs after 2 years, you're looking at $250k total compensation.
