As an engineer in the UK this is probably true. I’m currently in finance which to some extent defies gravity, but in general it’s true that a good Software engineer salary in London is 50-100k pounds. FANG probably 100-150. And your effective rate of tax will be 30%ish and a decent place to live will be 2-3k. It’s definitely better being in the US for software.
You could argue this is why companies in the UK are recruiting from lower cost countries - because they don’t compete with higher cost countries in terms of compensation.
