Being a copywriter in the USA 🇺🇸 👍 vs. Being a copywriter in Britain 🇬🇧 🤡

The difference in pay between the USA 👍 and UK 🤡 makes my blood boil (deliberate hyperbole). Caveats, no doubt, but overall, creative gets a far bigger slice of the proverbial pie stateside.

Senior copy jobs here — even in London — rarely pay over £60k; most around £45k.

Stateside they pay up to $200k (if you live in NYC or LA etc).

Netflix creative director job — live now — is paying up to $825,000 a year.

Copywriters here in the UK: what do you think is a fair salary for what you do? Let me know if you’re agency or in-house, your industry, and copy type (eg, purely advertising or expository writing for web).
