Mid-senior devs in most of the USA don’t make 400k total comp either.

Solid experience and skills will get you offers around 100k GBP from bigger, well funded startups and if you want to sell your soul to the finance industry you can get like 300k GBP total comp. Those are both real offers I’ve had in London.

What do you mean when you say the finance industry? It's a pretty big field. Is an online bank the same as some real time trading platform? Also, why is it selling your soul? Is Google / Facebook "better" (that is - more moral) than a fintech company ?
