Regarding dfraser992's comment, I think it's broadly true. I've worked at companies started by people with rich parents/family and every single day they work to keep that class divide between you and them. They're so crass about their wealth and rub it in your face daily.
HR will wax lyrical about professional development but in reality the owners want to keep people down and wages suppressed. It's infuriating. From my circle of friends, there seems to be a glass ceiling of about £60k ($5k/mo take home) in full time salary jobs, outside of management and London finance tech jobs.
- J-dawg 11y agoThis is also why we get those bullshit articles about the "shortage" of web developers or STEM graduates or "coders" or whatever the media buzzword du jour is. The only shortage is of people willing to work for below-market rates. It's also why the UK will never have a tech scene anything like the USA.
