For what I can tell, London has starting salaries in the £30-40k range which compared to the $60-100k in the valley seems absurd, specially as cost of living in London is not that much different.


Yeah London is quite off the charts, similar developer wages to large German cities but at much higher CoL.

I think this has to do with UK culturally not valuing engineers as much compared to Germany.


It's a blue collar job in the UK, coupled with the out-dated concept that individual contributors cannot earn as much as managers.
