British government mocked for advertising head of cyber role with £57K salary
This has caused a bit of a stir because the UK hasn&#x27;t quite understood the relative weakness of wage growth for the last 10 years. The culturally understood milestones of &quot;high pay&quot; 30&#x2F;50k have also not increased with inflation.<p>I get paid well for the UK - but I could triple or even quadruple my salary in the US&#x2F;Australia. Combined with relatively high taxes (my marginal tax rate is 60%) - it isn&#x27;t a great value proposition for many professionals, and despite the luxuries (healthcare, gun control) - almost everyone I know is eyeing the exit.
