I got an email last week about a JS dev position paying £80k. I'm in contract at the moment but next time I'm looking I'll have to seriously consider perm if it's paying anything like that.

It's high in the US. Perm BAs are asking for £70k - £82k before bonuses! Quite unreal.

Used to be only the top team leader permie dev jobs that would secure that kind of cash. If the gov' wants to keep house prices high (and the budget last week suggests this is their key objective) then wages have to go up. Lack of wage inflation has been cited by the house price crash brigade for some time as a reason why property values must fall but I think they have been on the way up for some time.

Here it comes baby!

Agent called me about a gig last week that I'm not that keen on, so I stuck 30% on my current rate, and now they are keen to interview me.

Fill yer boots while you can I say. At this rate I might be able to afford the mortgage on a garden shed.
