Indeed but it's weird even when you're not remote. I live in Guildford, and companies unashamedly offer <50% of your average London pay.
The train takes 35 minutes to get into Waterloo... Commuting sucks, but it doesn't suck that much.
- jon-wood 8y agoThis is why I've exclusively worked for London based companies for the last decade or so, even though I now live about two hours outside of London. All the similar jobs around here would as you've seen result in me taking a 50% pay cut, and because I work remote 80% of the week, spending more time commuting into the office.
- francis-io 8y agoThe difference is so high inside of London compared to an hours train away that it's not even on my radar any more to even look for jobs in the UK outside of London. I sat a jump of 2/3rds in salary when moving to london.
- ownagefool 8y agoThere are some higher paying roles outside of London. Farnborough has defence companies, Swindon has Nationwide, Bath/Bristol has DVSA, Edinburgh has RBS, but yeah, you're generally right. Live in London, if someone offers you "fuck you" money to go elsewhere, you can always rent it out. :)
