well said.

I'm an american who has been to London maybe twenty times. I have noticed the difference in pay rate. London has very similar pay rate to places like Austin or Boulder which are about 30% less in cost of living.

I would guess that Silicon Valley one would make about 25%-40% more than London for top paying CS jobs with a very similar cost of living
