Just curious, what is considered a well paying programming job in UK?
Last time I looked it seemed programmers who were being paid reasonably well were the ones working in City ( I am thinking 60k plus).
Otherwise, other programming jobs were offering 25k-40k at most, which seemed rather low considering cost of living.
- KiwiCoder 15y agoDeceptively hard to answer. * Cost of living varies a lot. * London is kind of a country in its own right. * Commuting in the UK can be £5k or more. If you compare to the national average salary for full-time employees (which is around £32k) then most programmers are well paid.

- ig1 15y agoFor a startup in London an intermediate level developer can make around £30-£50k, more senior developers can earn more. In sectors like consultancy and finance salaries can go into the £70-£100k range. And there a bunch of sectors like gaming which fall in between the two ranges.
