I can't speak from experience for US, but from what I read/heard online; SW. Engs. salaries there range from 90K to 250K. I just turned down an offer of a contract annually adding up to 220K$ roughly (total into my company before MOMS/VAT), because people are extremely antisocial here, and I ran out emotional patience/capacity. I just really can't anymore and need out asap. After 8 years here, I barely have a social circle to throw a birthday party. I moved here as a Tech Evangelist, very sociable person and my social skills has and is diminishing away. 650-900gbp per day sounds similar to southern Sweden. Hourly rates here go between 750 to 1300 sek.
