[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m British. It will depend very much on your field. What type of job are you interviewing for? For me, I work for a large non profit and a mid management position here and earn about $140k. In London for a similar job I’d be lucky to get half that.  Lawyers at big firms also earn a lot less. Taxes are not generally higher when you take into account state taxes and property taxes and sales taxes. I was over last month and couldn’t believe how much lower grocery prices were. Housing prices outside London are also much, much lower than here - even though they are extortionate in central London. For example my parents live a 35 minute train ride from central London in a very picturesque town and you could rent a house with yard and a few bedrooms for less than $2k a month. If you work from home a day or two a week that is completely doable.[/quote]

British too and I agree about the taxes. It’s annoying to continually read the that people think taxes are much higher in the UK. They really aren’t![/quote]

Well the government takes a lot more out of your paycheck.  Keep in mind that some posters also live in lower tax states.  I’ve read many articles and papers on tax burdens and don’t see how taxes are lower in the UK.  The top tax bracket starts out at a much lower salary and is 46%.  [/quote]
