Their senior solution architect vacancy has similar pay: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-people/careers-with-us/job-search/default-job-page/?jobRef=16476 https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-people/careers... Somewhat less eminent job title though.

I would love to have "Stonehenge architect" as a job title.

  They really miss out on opportunities here.

  Monolithic codebase though

    It's still modular.

      And probably a prototype deployed to production!!!

      That's because I think it's more accurate to call it a megalithic codebase. :)

that is abysmal!

  Maybe you missed the “25% discount in our shops and cafes” perk for the day you need to be in the office. Score.

  That's a fairly standard wage outside London for senior developers. UK wages are not great.
  - siva7 4mo ago
    i wouldn't call that standard wage, rather the lowest end of the spectrum where you could theoretically shop a "senior" outside of london.

      Median senior dev salary is £70k according to recent job postings: https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/senior%20developer.do https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/senior%20developer.do

        And that includes London, it lists "excluding London" as £65k. People overestimate how much senior devs in the UK earn, even after knowing they're not well paid, my usual response to hearing we should be earning £90k+ is, "well give us a job then"!

        A friend is making about £180k / yr in London, and they bought a house recently in London. I think that's a lot, and his wife also makes a similar amount, slightly more. That seems to be the minimum, otherwise you're a renter for life. Pretty nuts.

Yes but you can have a pint down at the pub on a warm summer evening with your colleagues after work. Almost makes up for it.
