Most people on HN who speaks about how good tech is usually live in the US or Eastern Europe, where tech salaries are relatively high for relatively little upfront requirements.

On an unrelated note, I've had a former coworker who lived in the UK and was contracting to mostly US companies for this exact reason.

Yeah the UK is bust in terms of tech pay and conditions. But most tech workers have been in favour of hybrid or onsite. No wonder since the UK is rather under skilled, not just in tech. And usually it's those who can't work without endless talk due to lack of experience that want to be ordered back into offices. A shame, the UK used to be the lead in tech in Europe. No longer it seems - neither pay nor skill.
