London market
London salaries are the highest in the UK and carry the largest cost-of-living adjustment. The London premium over the national median is roughly 15-30% depending on role. Remote-first employers have applied downward pressure on this premium, but in-office and hybrid roles in London still command a clear uplift; contract day rates run 20-35% above equivalent Manchester or Birmingham figures.
New York market
New York pays the highest US tech salaries outside the Bay Area, with finance and AI commanding a sharp premium. Total comp is concentrated in cash; equity refresh culture is less aggressive than the West Coast.
