Some agency is having a laugh at your expense. £45K, in London, for what is one of the 'hot' skills currently. I don't know a junior dev who would get out of bed for that in London. It might attract a few applicants nearer £70K.

My last perm job was 46k - in Glasgow you can do pretty well for that; especially if you're not making support, car and loan payments like I am.

Shouldn't that be there _is_ plenty?

I mean there may be more than one grammar pedant here, but there is only one plenty of them.

Perhaps one of my fellow grammar pedants might care to comment.

£45k with 5 years experiences in London isn't too bad these days considering its 5 years experience, salaries in IT in London doing BI are pretty sh*t compared to the cost of living in London, a front office BI Dev manager for a bank in London with say 10 years experience could earn these days 95k - 105k and should not expect a bonus but if you did get one 5-10k. For a 70k hire I would be expecting 8 - 10 yrs experience and to be operating at a senior dev level. Compare this back to early 2000 when I was working in BI with 3 years experience I bagged mid 40k's and 10k bonuses. The days of salaries in London reflecting cost of living here have long gone imo, your better off outside of London, imo its happened because of off-shoring.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

See plenty of permie .NET salaries in central London at around £50K.

When you consider you see similar roles well outside London for similar pay, but the price of a house it 10% of the London price, and that commuting into London is tulip nasty, time consuming and costly, what sort of takes these jobs?
