Comparing salaries of similar companies, I completely disagree.
I'll use Discover Card as they are a financial services company in both the US and UK.
According to Glass Door, a Senior Software Engineer with 15 years+ earns:
UK: £90-100k
USA: $120-140k
Even at the top end of finance, with the most experience you will struggle to break the £100k wall in the UK.
As someone who has worked software in both the US and UK, you are more likely to find upper management in the US who can see their software as a competitive advantage.
In the UK I've seen upper management in fintech startups embrace the advantages, but not in larger organisations.
