I only see 50k+ offers in London though, and I have no intentions of moving to London. I also don't think it's entirely fair to be comparing web developers to C++, I would say I'm an advanced C++ programmer but I would need to learn how to do web development from scratch, it's not like I can pick up a web development job and just get on with it.

Writing advanced C++ code is more difficult than writing node.js code for sure imo. So having a /2 salary for the most difficult option is meh. I have also had these offers from companies outside of London (don't know about rural areas OK). I think you should research a bit because I really think you are taken advantage of mate.
