FAANG pay relatively well in UK, only about 30% less than in the Bay for equivalent levels in my experience. For small companies and higher levels difference is likely higher.
EU definitely pays worse and most of western EU has crazy high taxes. Financially you'd be better off outside the EU.

- quantumofalpha 6y agoGBP/USD is trending high now, but other than that there's been no effect of brexit on high paying jobs as far as i can tell. UK work visa has been never a problem ever for ordinary higher-than-average paying jobs.
- kblev 6y agoAre you saying FAANG in the UK will pay ~£250k? Glassdoor is showing way less, with senior dev around £100k [1] 1 - https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Salary/Microsoft-London-Salaries-EI_IE1651.0,9_IL.10,16_IM1035.htm https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Salary/Microsoft-London-Salaries...
- quantumofalpha 6y agoGlassdoor pay data is utter rubbish and they have zero incentives to improve it. You are not their customer, your employer is, and your employer wants you to think people get paid less than they are. Check levels.fyi, it is much closer to the truth. 250k GBP TC in London is possible at FAANG L6/E6 (or L5/E5 with some luck with stock appreciation). HFTs are also able to pay that.
