![]() ![]() ![]() another way to think of the last point in this: people understandably recommend the top X% of salaries, e.g.I'd argue that "market rate" is the mean of a salary curve, not the maximum, but the most optimistic comments here put it the other way around.people use their personal circumstances as evidence of a general trend, otherwise known as "statistical tests with a sample size of one".But, as usual, there are statistical problems with many of the comments you have received on this page. You can live in the middle of nowhere, or Glasgow, or Dundee, or some tiny Welsh village, but the prices in Sainsbury will be the same, the price of your electricity bill will be the same, and going on holidays will cost you the same like in every other place in the UK. ![]() Our director who had no background in engineering or anything relevant was making 300k and kept telling us that money is not everything, the culture is important as well.Ĭompanies don't care about us, recruiters often lie, and interviews will always try to make you look either very stupid or pet your ego to get you to agree to the salary which they offer.Īnd as far as I know, prices in the country are going up, not down. Average pay was between 35k-40k across the engineering department. I used to work for a company which cancelled our yearly 100 pounds pay rise because of "financial" problems. Secondly, we live in times where remote working is expected in this industry (one good thing which came out from Covid) and this means, that yes, you can ask for a bigger salary. We need to remember that companies aren't poor just because they are away from London, but they usually move to cheaper locations to find cheaper labour so their top management will keep their yearly pay rise. Unless you're desperate, I'd turn that down and hold out for something a good bit higher and make sure you say what you're looking for before you even start interviewing. I've had at least 15 interview requests at that salary range in the last 2 months.įor your experience I'd be trying to get something at a bare minimum of £75k but realistically I thought you'd be on something above £90k.Įverything is remote now so I'm afraid if companies want to compete with London they need to up their game. If you go to and create a profile, it tells you what the median salary on offer for devs is based on your experience - and for me it was over £70k. I'm looking at my next move now and have been looking at roles between £65-75k and will not move for anything less than that. They have no revenue or funding yet they can still afford that somehow. I landed a job with 3 YoE last year and that was £48k remotely for a very small pre-funding startup just outside London. ![]()
