London S&T Salary progression

Hi, there is a lot of data out there on London/New York IBD salary progression and similarly for S&T in NY. I would like to get some clarity about the salary progression as a macro-product trader at a European BB in London and how it compares to NY. I have recently got the chance to enter the NY market, is the difference worth the shift? Also how bad are the taxes in NY, because LDN is brutal.

To give some more context - I got admitted into one of the top 5 business schools in the US for a MFE/MFin program. My parents are willing to pay the tuition. But is the long-term economic benefit marginal or worth the hassle? Also how bad will the job market be for internships next summer in NY?
