$21k full time developer.
The UK sucks.
- phpnode 16y agoDo you mean £21k? because if you're really working for £13k in the UK as a developer then there's something seriously wrong..
- robin_reala 16y agoThe job market isn’t great at the moment and coming straight out of uni is a pain when you don’t have any decent experience. It was the same situation in 2003 when I left uni and I was very glad to get a first development role at £15.5k (after turning down a £12k offer).
- phpnode 16y agoWhereabouts in the UK are you? I'm in York and in 2003 entry level PHP programmers were on around £18k, IT support was around £14k. Neither has moved much in the last few years.
- robin_reala 16y agoThis was in London! Front-end web development if that makes any difference, though the company had a bunch of FTSE 100s as clients so it was a good ‘CV’ company. Only stayed 10 months: found the same job but paying £22.5k in Portsmouth.
- Swannie 16y agoRegardless of that, many mid-career, 5yr+ experienced friends of mine are in the 55 - 65K USD range. cry at rubbish rates of pay in the UK
