London, UK
Rent: £675p/month in a shared property. Bills included. Zone 2.
This is quite cheap in comparison to most places in London. If you was looking to get your own place (a 1 bedroom apartment) then you're looking at > £800 a month PLUS bill and taxes on top of that
Travel cost: £99.10 a month for a zones 1-2 travelcard.
Food expenses...£100-£150 a month
I earn just under £30k and I've been in the industry for just over 2 years. I guess a typical programmer will earn £30k-£50k p/a during the course of their career, depending on what industry they're in
- sl_ 16y agoMay I ask which industy?
- djhworld 16y agoI work for a company involved in the games industry. You'll probably find more money in the financial sector though
- sl_ 16y agoAlmost what i expected. I got a 34k offer (same industry) with good benefits but am unsure if its worth the move. Main problem seems to be the rent which is ridiculous if you want to minimze commute time to the centre.
- djhworld 16y agoI think with most places in London you're looking at a 45min-1hour commute, unless you live REALLY close in zone 1 or something. For me my commute is as follows: - 20 minute walk from house to tube station(could take a bus which would take 10 mins, but I prefer the exercise) 15 mins on the tube to Bond Street 10 minute walk from there to work
- ig1 16y agoFinancial sector in london typically goes from about 30k (entry level grad) upto about 100k. Or if you're contracting day rate is normally in the £500-£800/day range.
