If my current pay is higher than the average range in my line of service & location, is it a mistake to ask for the same amount when looking for a new job e.g. $140k current vs $120k market, asking new jobs for $140k and up? I am worried about asking for too much initially, but I realize it's stupid of me not to ask for the max.

I said I already informed this to you before the interview, she said yes but we can not proceed. Very unprofessional. CCTC: 5.5, YOE: 2.5, Tech: Java

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
