You, or you and a partner? Do you work in finance?
I'm having trouble with my idea of average dev salaries and zone 2 prices equalling comfortable (i.e. nice amount of savings and disposable income after mortgage payment). If non-finance, I must be really out of touch with London salaries. I had an email today offering "up to £50k" for a devops position at a web agency...risible.
Risible indeed. Lemme give you more perspective of London salaries. Good you are in DevOps because I got that keyword on my resume too.
These are all the LinkedIn messages with a salary range I got since the beginning of February. Mostly from recruiters. (target: typical 20-30 years old, nothing special).
* DevOps Engineer - Cloud Managed Service - Aldgate east (London) - £50k - £65k
* DevOps Engineer - a global digital market agency - Canary Wharf - £60k - £70k
* DevOps Engineer - Kings Cross - £65k - £75k
* SysAdmin (DevOps) - £50k
* Senior Site Reliability Engineer - market leading eCommerce client based in London - £70,000 + 20% bonus and competitive benefits.
* Consultant on <specific tech I worked on before> + DevOps - "The day rate is around the £800 mark."
* world’s largest peer to peer lending services - up to £75K + benefits.
* London’s leading Cloud and Automation Consultancies (within financial services). - up to £60K + benefits..
Of course, it's only the 9th right now. The month just begins :D
the problem I that marketing and publishing don't treat the techies with respect "contempt" was how my last but one boss put it and he was a director at a subsidiary of relex
