Really disagree IME — there are great people at GDS, but they're doing it as a vocational thing and could make much more money in private sector. Generally in the UK you have to go freelancing to earn the top of the market, but even permanent roles in private sector have much better pay for less responsibility. E.g. I saw some GDS "Head of" roles advertised with a salary band ~£60-80k. AFAIK, they've also dialled back on public sector & they now offer defined contributions nearer to general private sector.
