I suppose that since Jamie is based in Nottingham, U.K. [1] then we should adjust the currency and number of zeros for his particular locale. My understanding is that senior software developer roles in the U.K. are also considered professional-level jobs that pay very well relative to other professional-level jobs in the local labor market, similar to the U.S., and are worth putting in some extra time and effort to get.
I think the same is true about senior software developers in many other countries: They are professional-level jobs that pay well relative to other professional-level jobs in the local market, and they're definitely worth taking some time and effort to get.
Feel free to provide specific examples of countries where this isn't the case.

- PeterisP 4y agoIt's not only that the rate is adjusted for locale but that the disparities in USA are much larger. In USA a very senior engineer at a FAANG in California will earn 20x times more than a junior engineer at some small midwest company. In UK a very senior engineer in London will earn perhaps 4x that of a junior engineer in Wales. In USA "pays very well relative to other professional-level jobs in the local labor market" will often mean a compensation that's double or triple of those other jobs; in UK "pays very well relative to other professional-level jobs in the local labor market" would imply a 20% or 30% difference. That makes a meaningful conceptual difference.
