If that's true, then you should probably have a word with your employer. Typical dev pay is 80k (~$120k) or twice as that if contracted.
- RReverser 6y agoThat's nowhere typical, even in London you'll find that only in higher-end companies.
- pmlnr 6y agoEh, no. Really no; that typical is at absolute max 50K across the UK.
- mciancia 6y agoUhh, maybe London is special but getting 70-100kGBP out of university is not really hard there. Just high CoL and taxes are making that a lot less
- Plyphon_ 6y agoITJobsWatch [0] suggests the median salary for a Senior Dev role in London is around 75k currently. [0] https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/london/senior%20developer.do https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/london/senior%20developer...
- ChrisRR 6y agoIt's absolutely not. £50k is fairly typical senior dev salary with some industries being higher or lower
- Plyphon_ 6y agoIt probably is true but as with all cost/currency comparisons you can't really look at the raw pre-tax figures in isolation to know if someone has more buying power doing the same job in one country or another. Everything from the price of broadband, pint of milk, loaf of bread, healthcare, car costs, etc etc contributes to someones buying power vs their salary
