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.
Toronto market
Toronto is Canada's largest tech and financial services market, with a strong concentration of US tech satellite offices (Google, Stripe, Shopify HQ). Salaries are quoted in CAD and trail US equivalents by 25-40% — but the market for cross-border remote work has narrowed that gap rapidly since 2022.
