USA is just a third world country with a Gucci belt. My family's value system is completely incompatible with how America operates and what drives people and organisations.

250k in London is an extreme outlier, I can only guess you work in finance? Most adverts I see are offering 50-80k.

450k for NYC would be outlier as well

Yes, I do ultra low latency stuff for market makers (typically big investment banks)
