Yes, I think they're more well off in general. The UK in particular pays developers very poorly.

That being said housing costs in California are no joke, although you can find some analogies in London. Not sure how devs can afford to live there tbh.

It makes sense that they would get paid this much, and quite frankly I think even the FAANG devs are drastically underpaid. The companies are printing cash and almost entirely powered by developers. The salaries sound high but execs are grabbing the vast amount of the real money.
