Last I checked, entry level salaries for a graduate were about £30k. For a non-grad that would drop to around £20k, which is still more than all the debt you have to take on to go to university.
- unimportant 12y ago20k is barely liveable in London and if you get laid off before you make significantly more, then you'll have a serious problem if you don't qualify for welfare yet. 30k is already on the high end. In SF, which has similar rents, entry level devs mostly make 70-80k USD, with 60k being rock bottom.
- iolothebard 12y agoThere are no "entry level" devs in SF. Either you're hired at a big firm/company (google/twitter/facebook) and you start off in the 150-200k/year range or you have experience. All the entry jobs are filled by H1b, and most the non entry jobs as well. Worked as a consultant/contractor in the Bay Area for ~3 years and GTFO. I made over 100 but less than 150 with 15 years experience.
- marrs 12y agoBut it's plenty liveable elsewhere in the UK, and there are plenty of descent tech companies looking for devs. And the point is, that's money you're earning, not money your borrowing as a student.
- shamney 12y ago30k is at the top of the range once you exclude finance jobs...
- spacecowboy_lon 12y ago£50k average for london developers and I have seen jobs at well over £35k for groundwork team leaders - thatsthe gang boss of a bunch of navvy's
- marrs 12y agoI interpreted that to mean the top end of entry level
- spacecowboy_lon 12y ago50K was the average sallary for developers in london btw the median for the UK is 23 or 24 K. And standard java dev work seem to start about 50k or thats what the Guardian was offering
