pay is meh until you get tenure. £30k nominal, up to £60k for a professorship Starting salaries are a lot higher than £30k (US$50k) for CS faculty in many countries. Here in Denmark the typical starting salary is around £45k (US$70K), and you can get tenure w/ a raise after 3-4 years. And at research institutions in the US, the typical starting salary is around £50-60k (US$80-100k). You can still make more in industry, but the pay isn't £30k-level bad.
