By simply compensating engineers more, do you think it would be possible for Britain to have a bigger tech scene? In other words, as an American company, would it be beneficial to post jobs in Britain that are above market rate but still less than the US? As many companies are backtracking from India this could be an opportunity

Some US companies partially do this in Ireland, I've heard anecdotally, where salaries are also much below the US. It's a much smaller market obviously, but it does happen.

I’ve seen this done - with UK and US employees working together on the same remote team for an SF-based startup, but it resulted in pressure to pay US employees below market rate.

EU is only interesting to US SFBA companies because:

1) education is pretty good (Top 50-200)

2) engineers are cheap

The most important factor is that northwestern Europe is the least corrupt area in the world. Salary normally is inversely proportional to corruption levels, USA is an exception.
