Does that figure take into account cost of living? When I left NZ 6 years ago it wasn't a cheap place to live.

  220k is sweet as in NZ even if you're living in Wellington or Auckland.

    Yeh I'm sure 220k is a great salary for NZ. But in terms of purchasing power, how does it compare to $70k-£80k in the UK (I don't know, as I said haven't lived in NZ for 6 years)? I'd also be interested to know how common it is to be on 200k+ as a dev in NZ (edit: spelling/grammar)

      Not sure about purchasing power, but from a salary perspective I thought that kind of money simply didn't exist at NZ companies. Maybe at Amazon or Microsoft in NZ you can get paid that much though.

      I've worked in the UK, but my information is also out of date (a decade ago). UK is cheaper for quite a few things, so a direct currency conversion doesn't work. If I had to guess, probably in the 90-100k GBP ballpark.
