Wondering the same. Maybe they meant "US FAANG salaries" very literally, i.e. just the salary, not the bonus and equity...

If they really mean US FAANG total compensation, my guess is quant trading firms.

I did mean salary, I'm not sure about total comp because UK firms don't seem to operate similarly for the most part.

[kyawzazaw]

even UK quant firms don't really pay similar to US quant firms unless for the very top roles or firms that have multiple locations

[moosedev]

Do they pay similar to US FAANG, though?

That's the comparison sirsinsalot was making.
