Ask HN: A good source of salaries at FAANG in EU/UK?
I think on average the ceiling for US is about 4x higher than UK and the avg salary is about 2x. UK seems to be about £43k ~= $59,879 [0] average and software dev in America seems to be about £79k ~= $110610 [1].<p>Both stats from Indeed which say they are basing it on 11.6k salaries for UK and 29.8k salaries for US.<p>Personal opinion but it matches what I expect. America is where the tech companies flourish and talent resides, as much as we would like to say healthcare is more important than double your average salary in EU I&#x27;m not convinced. I&#x27;m sure for some people it is however.<p>As for FAANG specifically I&#x27;m unsure but do be careful as taxes in UK are a bit more harder on you compared to somewhere like Austin. You lose 40% of anything you earn above ~£50k in England.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uk.indeed.com&#x2F;career&#x2F;software-engineer&#x2F;salaries" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uk.indeed.com&#x2F;career&#x2F;software-engineer&#x2F;salaries</a>
