Nope....can you please tell my boss to give me a rise

Seriously though, I just did a couple of checks online. For my job it suggests that I would get paid roughly the same amount in USD if I worked in NY versus what I get paid in GBP (i.e. If I earned 100k GBP, I could expect 100k USD for the same job). So crudely you could make a 1:1 comparison for a real terms comparison.....this is very unscientific though!
