We have a lot of UK expats at the shop, apparently it's very easy to poach the equivalent of MIT grads and some YOE with a wage that's barely above an intern over here...

I don't understand it either.

I hate how accurate this is. Imagine you are a UK resident, born and raised, who went to the UK’s top school for CS (4-year degree). You made American friends at university who later moved back home.

15 YOE down the road and you are making $80k as a good senior SWE. You are absolutely bewildered that your American friends who you studied with make comfortably double that.

Make it make sense.
