The average salary in most US states is only a little more than this, and this is for Northern England where you can expect to earn 50-100% less than London depending on field
That’s the average salary overall. An average electronics engineer makes $109k a year in the US. and even more in places like California.
This is true, but you asked if it's comfortable for them, which is more a factor of average salary than the wage gap of a specific field. They are pretty much spot on average for northern areas.
Yeah but making average wages doesn’t necessarily mean they’re comfortable.
I guess you meant "as an American [in the same field]", whereas I took you to mean just as any American which is why I made the comparison.
i.e. going by averages outside of the field, you're about as comfortable here as an American would be, looking only at salary.
