Dev jobs in the U.K. tend to be very skills focused so a devops engineer with ansible, could easily get up to £90k. There are also a lot of terrible devs and £30-£40 is about the right mark and lots of companies will hire people who are rubbish because they don't know better and don't really care. Most people who are any good go contracting and earning £150k is no problem, if you choose to work at least 43 weeks. There are typically people who contract because they are good and also people who do lots of <=3 month contracts who are not so good and will earn less but still decent money. IT has really given many many people the opportunity to earn significant amounts of money that they wouldn't have been able to otherwise - 150k for a couple of years experience and no schooling, what profession is better than that??
