Why are salaries so much lower in London than NYC? I asked a British friend what he thought I made- he said £50k (I make $150k) - also, title has not been updated, I’m ACD now, w/ 7 yrs experience.

British agencies make a lot less money than US agencies. Simple as that. US is a huge market. UK is small.
Think of an account. Think of what the annual fee for that account will be in the US. Divide by ten: that’s what the same account is worth in the UK.

Congrats on the money and the title.

British ACDs don’t make £50К, more like £80K-£90K. CDs - £90K - £150K. Still not spectacular but not three times less.

CD2 is on the money.
ACD - £80-90
CD -£100+ (up to around £175 for the best I think)
Shocking compared to USA.

Also bear in mind that the UK’s insane pursuit of Brexit continues to drive down the value of the £ vs the $, which is a factor in your comparison.

Keep in mind, in the US, you now typically pay ~$20K per year for OOP healthcare costs. More of you actually get sick.
