Are you talking about US dollars? The salaries in the UK are much lower.

No that’s definitely consistent with what Google pay in GBP in London.

Google UK pays an L5 which is Senior Software Engineer around 200K GBP including stocks [1]

I don’t get how that is inconsistent with the root comment? If the median senior earns 200k, then it’s reasonable that someone junior would earn 80k and a top engineer at DeepMind would earn more.

Wow that is honestly much higher than I was expecting. I was thinking back to Dan Abramov earning half of that at Facebook.
