UK tryin to pretend it's a player in the modern tech world while paying people less than interns make in California

The entire UK is a country sized Potemkin Village set up by the United States to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.

“You know back in my day the sun never set on our glorious empire”

Oh wow gran that’s amazing. How would you like some mushy peas huh? That sounds good, right?

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 26 points 6 months ago

What are you trying to kill me? Mushy peas are much too spicy. Now if you dip some bread into the pea wet, then that's a proper meal innit.

[-] die_livster@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 6 months ago

Where's my peace motherfucker!?! big-honk

You're right, but this applies to like 500 people who run Britain, 300 of which their families always have, and 200 of which pretend their families always did.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

I think you'd pull more even here in Colombia for a job like that

It's less than ten years since the British goverment spent several years trying to ban encryption entirely until eventually enough poeple they trust told them they were fucking idiots and it would destroy the economy overnight.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

It would be funny if British colleges complied and stopped teaching about encryption and all the fresh government hires have no idea what any of it means

Californian interns make nearly $72k?

[-] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago
[-] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

What’s cost of living like though?

In fairness I reckon you could piss away three and a half grand a month away fairly easily in London.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

What’s cost of living like though?

obscene, you're considered low income in the bay area if you make <$104k

[-] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

For a family for 4

Single income earner making 100k is doing perfectly fine

Idk, I live here and I think the numbers are inflated because of tech bros tbh

100k = 65k after taxes

You can find a nice studio in downtown or 1 bedroom outside downtown center for 1.6-2.2k, after utils. Ignore the median rent in the article, it's cause of all the luxury apartments that are needlessly expensive for tech bros

65k = 5.4k /month

After taxes and rent you have 3.4k a month?

In a city that's tiny and has a workable public transit system so you also don't need a car

[-] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I’ve heard that. Got mentioned in a thing about the Cecil Hotel, in San Francisco, how basically no one can afford to live in downtown LA or SF. Interesting to hear it off an actual person.

[-] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

60-150k

Median is probably 100k

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

72k is like minimum wage in California lol.

I think this is also what the average new grad makes in London in the private sector...

Certainly half of what new grads are paid at the big players
