Real talk, what’s the difference in pay when you move from NYC to London? I’m currently making 85k in NYC, and found a glassdoor post that said the pay is ~45k (USD) for the same position in London… is it really THAT big of a drop off?

I have a copy friend who made the move to the UK for a few years. The drop off he said was pretty steep. I forget why exactly though. London’s pretty expensive too.

I have heard this too and always wondered if if once you subtract the cost of American health insurance and retirement savings and college savings (if you have kids) - all the expenses that are covered as part of the more generous welfare programmes in the UK - if the salaries aren’t a lot closer.

smartfunny

Nyc is the exception not the rule though. In any other large city like Chicago/LA you’d be better off overall here

As someone who has moved from London to NY, there is a pretty glaring difference. From my experience, Account Supervisors (called Account Managers scale is approx £28,000 - £38,000. Account Directors are £39,000 - £60/£65,000

Account managers/supervisors aren’t the same imo

This is so wild to me. How much is rent in London??

smart

exactly my next question haha — seems like the salaries are lower than the US as a whole, not just NYC

More holiday here too - as in we actually get some

Pretty much. Cost of living is less in London (rent / groceries especially) though it has gone up since the pandemic.

Dyscalculia-c here, so request no judgement on question. If I have 10k in 401kA and 20kin 401k2 , will I make more in growth if I combine them into a single 401k? A friend was trying to push this logic but it’s beyond me.
