This is a great tool, just had a look at data science jobs which is what I do, but I gotta say I was pretty disappointed looking at the salaries. I'm in the UK where data science salaries falls between 30-50k. Seeing the job salaries all advertising 100k+ in America for the exact same skillset and same hours really puts value for money into perspective.

Even accounting for healthcare, seems like overseas data scientists are just much better off in all regards.

I might have to start looking for a different career lol

There’s huge demand for data science stuff in the us, is that not the case in the UK? I kinda figured that would be a well paying position anywhere

There's just a huge difference in salary in general. Even the accounting one had a 75k salary. In the UK that would also be in the 30-50k range.

Edit: interestingly it seems like the jobs without required degree are lower paid. The cook only earns 20-25k for a 50 hours/week job. That seems crazy low.

Seems like as soon as you get a college degree in the US your salary jumps by like 50k.
