  > In London, >£100k is easy for contractors but I think you'd have to have some managerial responsibilities to get that as a perm (team lead or upwards.) But I may also be moving in the wrong circles... It's possible, but unusual, for base salaries for individual contributors to be over £100k, especially if you look at both FAANG/adjacent companies and financial firms (both investment banking and at hedge funds). If you include bonuses and stock compensation, those same groups can relatively easily hit £100k.

    > If you include bonuses and stock compensation I'd personally never consider those in salary calculations - been burned too many times. But yeah, I guess if people are getting bonuses and other compensations, it could well boost them over £100k.

  No, there are lots of people who make more than that. I offered more and was turned down by them mid 2017.
