There's also some very high paying software engineering roles in the UK, such as machine learning engineers. Of course, the salary varies from the north to the south quite a bit.
Nevertheless, you can get 100k just out of uni in an ML role! Especially if it's following a PhD.

I wouldn't call that "very high paying" at all compared to the US ones. $100k is way less than what a non-ML undergrad dev gets at an entry level FAANG position in the US. And yes, even for remote positions (within the US specifically and, to a degree, Canada; felt the need to clarify, because FAANG positions outside of the US/Canada pay much less, despite still being usually noticeably higher than local alternatives), so no need to go the "but living in Bay Area is extremely expensive".
But for an ML role that requires a PhD? $100k in the US for that would be laughable. Not trying to stir anything up or argue, but I do recommend doing a bit more research on the topic, especially if you are trying to help a future college student make a decision on a degree/career path. A good starting point would be checking levels.fyi, which seems to be by far the most accurate resource on tech salaries from my experience, despite sometimes showing a few random datapoints that are a bit off (mostly due to some people not entering their stock grants or annual bonuses properly and not accounting properly for vesting)
