Maybe at FAANG salaries and maybe 10 years ago. Definitely not now at normal salaries.

- dukeyukey 3y agoDefinitely now, because I'm in my late 20s and I'm seeing software engineering friends buying places in zone 2 and 3. Usually apartments and often with something like shared ownership or a lower-earning partner, but buying all the same. None work in FAANG or high-paying places, think in the £60-70k range. (just realised I said "the city" in my original comment and realised that could mean the City of London - I meant London itself, sorry if any misunderstanding!)
