The difference is most definitely there. My total comp as a SWE5 at Facebook in London was closer to what this article calls "Entry Level" in the Bay Area.

Vital word: “was”. Do you know what SWE5’s in London are being offered today? I make offers and I can tell you that it’s a discount to be in London, but it’s not _that_ big of a discount.

This was 2017. I doubt the market has moved that much in 3 years?

In general, London has been a 40-50% discount to SF.
