- BlargMcLarg 4y agoCurrencies worldwide have lost ground against the dollar, and the pound was doing poorly to begin with. A pound is only 1.12 dollar atm. What's going on is a combination of social services using taxes and the US being one of few places putting a huge value on software devs. The US is an outlier, not the other way around.
- intelVISA 4y agoMakes sense, ya'll should work remote for US tech if you can.
- bearmode 4y agoUK salaries have always been low. US salaries have always been very high. Though we do get unlimited free healthcare and a statutory minimum of 28 days paid leave, and up to 28 weeks paid sick leave. Not quite swings and roundabouts - I'd like a higher salary, but there are some benefits to not living in the US.
