alt Hacker NewsThis checks out. I live in Silicon Valley but now work for a startup in London. Same vibe, less attitude.
They are not the same. The energy/resources in SF/SV are 5x at a minimum - but London has it going on.

Yeah SF is 10x every other place in earth. People that think things are comparable have never lived here.

How's the comp? From HN I had gotten the feeling that the UK was worse than most of western europe in that regard.

Working for London startups in the past, I've found they're much more polite, but much less honest and straightforward. There's a layer of britishness you have to get past sometimes to get to what people really want instead of directness.
