- SideQuark 3y agoUS doctors avg $316k/ year. UK doctors avg 138k/yr. Thanks for more evidence of how unions "improve" outcomes. https://www.physiciansweekly.com/how-do-us-physician-salaries-compare-with-those-abroad/ https://www.physiciansweekly.com/how-do-us-physician-salarie...
- maxehmookau 3y ago£138k a year in most of the UK is a very, very comfortable living. Especially when you don't have to pay for things like _your own healthcare._ It puts you comfortably in the top 5% of earners. The same could be said for most professions in the UK. They're paid less than their US counterparts, but it's an excellent example of how you can't always measure quality of life in $ and £. My job as a software engineer pays considerably less in the UK than my US counterparts, so why haven't I moved there?
