I wonder why Forbes takes so long to set cookie preferences. No other site requires this - given their early adoption of anti-adblock, is this an attempt to make browsing with opt outs unpalatable for users?
UK STEM academic salaries are an embarrassment.
No problem inflating the salaries of administrators, of course- just researchers & faculty.
That is probably true, but what university is going to pay a prof $1M USD? I think the issue remains valid. Also I doubt it's only UK salaries that are crappy these days.
The UK vs US salaries are not even in the same ball park.

Sure they can't afford $1M but in general you are lucky to get $110k+ in the UK even if you have 10 years behind you, even more so outside of London, in London the money doesn't go that far.

It's a no brainer, if you can get a visa and happy to move even if for a few years it can make a big financial life difference.
