Seriously. I just got a recruiter spam email yesterday for a job in London with a salary listed at "up to £45k" (about $55k USD).
That's less than half of my current salary in a city with double the cost of living!
(I'm in Ohio, but apparently London is even more expensive than SF: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cost+of+living+london+england+vs+san+francisco https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cost+of+living+london+...)

- 6t6t6t6 10y agoUp to £45k is an offer for an entry level job. If you have experience, you should be looking for £60k or more. London is an amazing city if you can get a good job, otherwise, it can be quite hard to live there.
- nfriedly 10y agoThe email said they were looking for a "Senior/Lead" person, but I'm sure you're right in general.
- 6t6t6t6 10y agoThey are not going to find a Lead developer for this price. And if they find someone, that person will move to another company after realising how salaries are in London. http://www.monster.co.uk/jobs/search/?q=lead+developer&where=london&cy=uk http://www.monster.co.uk/jobs/search/?q=lead+developer&where...
