Thank you analysts

Thank you to all the hard working lads and lasses who came before me in London who sweated out over the pandemic. When I started uni this job paid 50k base which was already v. high for London grad jobs, now its 70k

MONEY GO BRRRRRRRR

I believe for analyst years London is better than NYC. Cost of living is significantly lower and comp at some shops isn't as significantly different between the 2 countries. You also start earning a year earlier in the UK and have less student debt. After an2 the UK comp is pretty bad in comparison.

Also this is 70k GBP so around 95k USD. 10-15k shorter than most US bases but overall disposable income is probably higher as an analyst in London.
