What sort of figures are you talking about ?
The UK varies quite a lot by location and field. In general for a experienced developer in London I'd expect a salary in the region of 35k-60k GBP/57k-96k CAD (the financial sector somewhat above this range; academia below it).
- gamble 16y agoThe salaries I saw advertised were mostly around the lower end of that range (~35k GBP) for London. Less elsewhere. In Canada, that's starting salary for someone fresh out of university. $80k-100k CAD would be a good salary for an experienced programmer. Of course, that doesn't take into account the exorbitant cost-of-living and higher taxation in the UK. Plus, it seems like most of the programmer jobs are clustered in the most expensive area around London. Even if we didn't have to take a pay cut to live in the UK, our money would still buy far less than it does here.
