90K GBP salary, 9K GBP bonus and 21K Stock for an L5 at Deliveroo in London? If you are in that position, I am 99% certain that Silicon Valley is a better[1] choice. Any L5 at a Fintech or a Social media or a Gig-economy based company will earn 350K-400K, if not more, even in this economy[2]. That's a 3x difference, or 2.5X if GBP recovers.
Comparing London vs SV on other aspects: you get great health insurance at these companies, better than NHS; housing prices are the same level of crazy; SV tech co's will give you at least 3 weeks of vacation + 10 holidays; SV has far worse dating scene but SF is not bad; taxes should be comparable;
[1] strictly in a monetary sense. Please stay in London if you have an awesome social network there or love English culture or prefer English weather or have trouble getting a US visa.
