Benefit: working outside Central London

That's not actually true the supermarkets regionally price.

I've not really noticed any difference in price Tesco-wise between North / South.

Anyway it's the old 80/20 optimisation rule. It doesn't really matter if a tin of beans is 1 or 2p cheaper when your monthly rent is 2 grand more

Tesco sells porkpies for the same price everywhere.

Going out costs alot more. If you frequent Ramsey's every evening for a bit of wining and dining, that tends to burn the cash!!!!!

[bobhope]

It's really on the housing component that's significantly more in London, so you should concentrate on that. Most other stuff is about the same - Tesco sells porkpies for the same price everywhere.

On the down side, wouldn't you want extra money for having to be in a place like Slough or Swindon?

Done my time in London and won't be back. Rates in Scotland are comparable with the rest of the UK so I don't have to move very far which is a bonus.

Current gig is working from home for at least a year with occasional travel to the US so no complaints.

Priceless.

I wouldn't work in London again.

[Sockpuppet]

They say 9k a year but I think its a lot higher.

London in my eyes is a heap. I can earn more in the midlands for my line of work and its cheaper than London so I'm happy.

You could always rephrase it to ask what rate differential you would look at instead?

[Francko]

We don't talk about salary here - that's permie speak...

10 / 20k = money. A year. Divide by the number of days you worked to get an accurate amount per hour. Bring over your calculator to cover your evident mathematics deficiencies.

[ratewhore]

Exactly. X salary working outside Central London = X + 10/20k salary in Central London

[Francko]

Why? Everything is cheaper outside of London. So if you got the same rate you would be better off.

How much would you rate the benefit of working outside Central London?

I'd reckon around 10-20k a year for me.
