AFAIK in London you'll be making more as an Uber or cab driver than as a dev if you are not interested working in finance sector or at a couple of advertising shops.
- beforeolives 5y agoThis is incorrect. By a very large margin.
- zerr 5y agoIs it? I've seen GBP 50K marketed as a decent salary for seniors. GBP 25K-35K for juniors. Talking about full-time employees.
- beforeolives 5y agoThose numbers are very low for London, you might see them in the rest of the UK though.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoI disagree. Tons of relatively unknown companies making 100mln per year, paying 100k for seniors (usually stock comp is worthless though, that's how fang engineers make their money). Personally I've always avoided fangs because of politics and having to commute in the office (which also means I could move outside of London). It's not USA salaries but you get cheaper healthcare, more holidays, you can make some decent living and the extra freedom is welcome if you have a family or if you want to have a rich social life.
- SilurianWenlock 5y agoHow sarcastic is this?
- intricatedetail 5y agoI agree. I know plenty unskilled workers who make more money than even senior devs. They are all self employed though. I remember being quite frustrated when a friend who was a cleaner made fun of me that she was making more than me.
