anecdotal evidence from Facebook: if you transfer to London office instead of Bay Area, your salary gets slashed 20%

That would still be very high for London/uk
Wow, and it's not like London is cheap.
is that after conversion?

e.g.: 200k USD would equal (200 * 0.79 USD/GBP * 0.8) = 126k GBP?

I wonder if it is because salaries were set before the pound plummetted due to brexit.

For most companies, you at least get more vacation days in London, but i think facebook US already provides 21 business days, I would imagine facebook UK is the standard 5 weeks?
