I had an offer in London as a dev in finance at ~300k GBP total comp and a Series B startup offer over 100k GBP and that was more than 4 years ago. Ended up going with a much smaller seed-stage company in Berlin because I couldn't stomach the finance people and liked Berlin.
- moneywoes 6y agoIs it ok if I ask your YOE and stack?
- jashmatthews 6y ago10 years as a professional dev, CS degree, 10 years before that as a hobbyist. Regular meetup speaker, couple of international conference invites. Mainly worked with high traffic Ruby apps but also done production C and Rust. Side interests in VMs and compilers. These positions exist if you're good, experienced and most of all, not a complete asshole.
- wdb 6y ago£300k, how much would that be in base salary?
- jashmatthews 6y agoLess than half. Tbh I found the whole "guaranteed" bonus thing quite confusing. London finance attracts a crowd that I had very little in common with. To be honest I only interviewed to see what it was like. It wasn't for me.
- wdb 6y agoYet to find the first company in London which really offers a guaranteed bonus ️
