I wouldn't say more in line necessarily, unless you work at the big banks in a profit center. Contractors can make anywhere from £300 to about £750 a day unless they land on an extremely profitable niche, which is great money for the UK but not the kind of insane rates SV engineers can get. Of course, cost of living is lower too, especially up north where I am.
- zd123 5y agoWhat would be an example of extremely profitable niches? Just curious as I live in London and wanna up my salary.
- beaconstudios 5y agotypically niches are found or created, rather than listed on job searches. If you're already a contract software engineer, the most accessible 'niche' would be contract/interim CTO positions. Beyond that, specific expertise or contacts in specific industries would be the way forwards; at this point it's not a matter of applying for jobs, but creating opportunities. [edit] forgot to mention contract (cloud) architects and project managers. They can make a lot, too.
