Don't just look at the list of things not included either. Actually look at the numbers.
A Silicon Valley total compensation can easily be double that in the UK. That pays for a lot of cost of living, healthcare, time off, etc. It actually is an impressive difference.
- rootusrootus 6y agoIt's more than double. The engineers on my team in Portland earn more than 2x the experienced senior engineer we have in the UK. The engineers we have in San Jose make 1.5x what most of our Portland engineers make. And we are not a FAANG.

- viraptor 6y ago> A Silicon Valley total compensation can easily be double that in the UK. Sure, but that's comparing one specific area known for tech, including many big players with a whole country. SV is not the US, like Canary Wharf is not the UK.
