Big old US >> UK pay gap imo. Partial explanation for that: 32 days holiday in the UK vs 10 days US.
(My base pay was 85% of total; 100% seems pretty normal in UK tech.)
Other big factor: this was in a sorta sleepy industry that tacitly trades off money for working the contracted 37.5 h week, unlike say startups. Per hour it was decent, particularly given 10% study time.
If we say hustling places have a 50 h week (which is what one fancy startup actually told me they expected), then 41 looks fine.
