All the big tech companies in the area pay significantly less in London from knowing engineers there and talking to recruiters in the past. I doubt they are going to start changing that any time soon when they can get good engineers without doing that. I've kept an eye on this when looking for jobs before because I think it would be fun to live in London for a few years, but it's not worth the tradeoff when you can make much more and save much more on the west coast in the US. COL in London is high, and pay is low comparatively (and this is coming from someone in Seattle which traditionally has slightly lower pay then Bay Area)
