Tech jobs pay over 1/3 less in UK than USA

UK employees working in the technology sector can expect to be paid much less than their American counterparts, according to a new study.

The report was commissioned by Hired. It was based on over 80,000 interview requests and job offers. The report found that on average, the salary given to a software engineer in London was lower than the wage given to a person in the same role in San Francisco. A developer’s average salary in the UK is £54,000, but in San Francisco wages are 37% higher. The salaries can go up to £86,000.
