He's getting paid 100k£ base salary. That's a pretty huge salary in the UK — SWE salaries outside of the US major markets are much lower, and in Europe outside of Switzerland, they're even lower still; and even going by the conversion from GBP to USD alone, that's not that bad for most of the US outside of the major markets, either. Not to mention that the total comp is probably much higher as well.
- andrewstuart 7y agoI thought these big Silicon Valley companies paid their highly public superstars big coin, regardless of where they live. It seems strange because you'd think they would pay him extremely well as a defensive strategy to keep the other SV giants from buying him away - they seem to be making that task rather easy.

Probably would mean 180k$ base or whatnot right away; plus lots of stock (no idea how much stock they give outside of US).
