I was chatting to a senior developer at a startup the other night, who had
moved here from Los Angeles. We didn't discuss numbers, but he mentioned
that even though the equivalent dollar amount was higher, he worked out that
he'd actually taken a 30% pay cut by moving to London, after accounting for
the differing costs of living.
In defense of London, I should point out that he loves it here, partly for
the 5 weeks paid holiday a year and free healthcare, but mainly because
we're just so cool. ;)
