Geography definitely matters. My numbers were based on non-London UK for example. If you were looking at jobs in London you could probably add 5-10K to each of the figures I quoted.

I assume that those 125k/year jobs are for either large companies or profitable/highly financed startups?

I'm guessing that there are lots of startup programmers out there on very low salaries who are working mainly for equity which is a much harder thing to value.



I just checked jobserve for C# and Java in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham and Manchester.

All have plenty of jobs going up to £45k-£50k, and that's what they're offering before you even walk in the room and they find out they like you.

£35k seemed to be the ceiling about 2 years ago, I think demand is really starting to push it up.
