that is abysmal!
american salaries must be ridiculous if £70k (~$93.5k) is considered "abysmal(ly)" low! as others have said, some may be in for a very rude awakening...
$93.5k is abysmally low for a Senior Solutions Architect in the USA. I would expect at least $175k if not $200k+ on average. Plus stock and bonuses.

The rest of the world has already been in a rude awakening, talented engineers should be compensated well no matter where they happen to live

Are you serious? Sarcasm Don't translate well on internet.
He's serious. American programming salaries are an extreme outlier. You guys are in for a massive shock if they ever normalise.
The mechanics driving compensation arent "normal." American pay is driven by the underlying mechanics. The USA didn't just randomly win at tech.
There are real factors that could reduce US compensation, but calling that "normalization" assumes the current gap exists for no reason. It exists because the US software industry is structurally different from most of Europe.

$93.5K isn't abysmally low in the USA. Average is about 66k $93.5k is abysmally low for a Senior Solutions Architect in the USA. I would expect at least $175k if not $200k+ on average. Plus stock and bonuses.
I think comparing a job like this purely on salary terms misses a lot. It's a prestige job that will be the highlight of someone's CV for the rest of their career. Not to mention 25-28 days vacation.
As someone that's lived both in the US and outside of it there's no denying US salaries are top of the game. But there are a lot of other factors that go into a person's life than salary alone. Long hours in US jobs are not rare at all. I expect folks at Stonehenge are out the door at 5pm sharp.
