2 and a bit Band 5 Nurses working a 24/7 rota , closer to three if no unsocials as the pay rates quoted in NHS materials are the basic rates without unsocial / shift pay

You would then have very different expectations in the workplace with less flexibility in hours and usually less working from home. So increased travel and childcare costs too. Then lots of companies refuse to employ ex-contractors so longer periods without work potentially.
It does work for older employees who's children are more grown up and who want to pile £40k tax-free into a pension each year
£100k however is the average salary in California.
Average. Move!
You don't get rich from Salary. It's taxed and you never earn what you actually produce.
Set-up a small business, or invest.
As the UK continues to sink in world trade and relevance you want to be one of the people who's income comes mostly from non-uk investments0 -
