Not really. Devs in the uk earn far more than most of these jobs you mentioned. Perhaps you are working with the wrong company.

There is quite a large difference between tech salaries depending on nationality of the company, their approach to tech and location in the UK.
A Principal Software Engineer in the South East can make six figures easily, the same in the midlands will be much less, and that's only 90 miles apart.

That's a huge wage differential for a country the size of Michigan

Yes ... but remember as well we don't have the "commute many miles" mentality, you tend to work fairly local to where you live.
I might be an outlier, I live 55 miles away from work (1h15m commute each way) so that I can have a higher salary, but much bigger house, better transport links, good schools for the kids etc.
