What is the total cost per employee. That is what matters. Payroll tax and any other tax that is paid for each employee must be considered. Salaries are lower in UK and Canada because of high taxes. Americans need to be paid more so they can pay for their own health insurance, child care and college costs, retirement savings, etc. the company doesn’t pay so many taxes. It is just a question of where the money goes. All in per employee cost is likely similar.
Comparing salary from different countries is silly. You have totally different tax and social programs.
Was offered £165k (declined), not sure about CL. Not a management role but expert type role at the London office. Would that be CL 28?

In the US they still have pension, so the corporation has to account for pension liability
@gq+1jspna89q I don't think that's a fair comparison, there are extra costs to the employer for sure, but I assume the US employer is also paying additional taxes and so on on top of your gross salary?
150K GBP
Barely enough to wipe your a-- with, living in SE England
Total comp in UK is much higher because of the UK govt benefit burden from health, pension, taxes etc). As a percent of base comp, these are much higher in UK than US.
You can quite easily find see the average SWB on a cost centre level for GBCs vs HC10 countries for EMTech if you do some simple search on goto/search. It’s not confidential info at all. Considering that the average CL in mature countries are 25-26, the other comment on £60-75K is about right
£60-75k
UK salaries are less than half of US salaries...but still too expensive for Exxon.
