UK Anecdata: xe.com says $155k is currently £112k which is, at best, two maybe-high mid level devs in, e.g., London (outside of FAANG.) Maybe 3 mid or low-senior levels outside of London but even then it'd be a stretch. I think.

Literally said "UK Anecdata" in the first two words of my reply to highlight this was entirely UK based.

I appreciate that "UK Anecdata" might be misconstrued as "Ukraine Anecdata" (and I could have been clearer that it was UKOGBANI or GB, sure) but in what world could "UK" encompass Poland?
