Is it just me or are consulting salaries in London significantly lower than in the US? I’m browsing around glassdoor and the highest analyst salary is at 40k averaging at 32k.

London is hella expensive and salaries are lower than the US.

Folks in FB like to believe that consulting pays extremely well everywhere, but that's largely an American thing.

Btw my point above, when you start losing the personal exemption, means your marginal tax rate on that affected income is about 71%. 11% ‘free’ health care plus 40% standard tax plus loss of loss of income previously taxed at the 20% rate. It’s brutal.

It’s a good thing that real estate and other cost of living elements are proportionally lower in London as well.

Are you sure you're not comparing Pound Sterling to USD? The conversion is 1 Pound = 1.32 USD. Agreed still lower than the US but want to make sure it's not severely understated during comparison

The UK market pays much less than USA. It gets even worse when you factor in the “free” healthcare which is taxed at 11% and how you start to lose your equivalent of a personal exemption at around the manager salary range

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE).
