They say it's 100% of the full-time salary, but the one open position they have is a full-stack JS engineer for the equivalent of about $66k USD. Is the market really that bad in the UK? That's not even a good new grad offer in the US.
- gadflyinyoureye 4y agoYes, yes it is that bad. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/london-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,6_IM1035_KO7,24.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/london-software-engineer-.... 60k Pounds is about 75k USD. Seems like Beacon might be on the low side.
- renaudg 4y agoI wouldn't trust that : for one thing, they list the "Entry Level Software Engineer" average as £57,581 when "Software Engineer" is £53,392 overall. Better in my experience : https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/ https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoAlmost every company outside the US pays at most half of what the US offers for similar positions. Only a few unicorns and a few countries are exceptions to this.
- corrral 4y agoMost of the US pays at most half of what a handful of (mainly) California and New York companies do.
- renaudg 4y agoNo that's definitely on the very low side for a London engineer unless you're a new grad or with very outdated skills. You can't directly compare salaries with the US though : the tax and benefits structure is vastly different.
- TrackerFF 4y agoYou might ask yourself - if Europeans are willing to do the work that Americans are doing, but for half (sometimes even a third, or quarter!) the price - Are European workers underpriced, or American workers overpriced?
- adamsmith143 4y agoWith global corporations it's hard to imagine they would be willing to lose this badly on Labor Costs if there isn't a clear benefit to paying more in the US. Especially with the rise of remote.
- weakfish 4y agoThat’s fairly normal outside SF/Silicon Valley - my friends and I all fell around the 60-80 range fresh out of school with CS degrees, working in the southeast (Raleigh, NC)
- tristan957 4y ago65k (General Motors) was the lowest offer I saw as a new grad in 2019. Everything else was above 75k. I took a job for 90k. I work in Texas.
- weakfish 4y agoThen you’re lucky.
- tristan957 4y agoI think that was pretty normal for the offers of my class. Feel free to check out the data in the Computer Engineering and Computer Science majors: https://aggiesurveys.tamu.edu/public/Reports.aspx https://aggiesurveys.tamu.edu/public/Reports.aspx. Pick Spring of 2019 as the semester.
- Guid_NewGuid 4y agoA new grad offer in much of the UK outside London would be up-to $33k USD maybe less though I may be a few years out of date. US salaries are very different and seem strange to (this) non-American(s).
