Seriously. I just got a recruiter spam email yesterday for a job in London with a salary listed at "up to £45k" (about $55k USD).

That's less than half of my current salary in a city with double the cost of living!

(I'm in Ohio, but apparently London is even more expensive than SF: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cost+of+living+london+...)

Up to £45k is an offer for an entry level job. If you have experience, you should be looking for £60k or more.

London is an amazing city if you can get a good job, otherwise, it can be quite hard to live there.

The email said they were looking for a "Senior/Lead" person, but I'm sure you're right in general.

They are not going to find a Lead developer for this price. And if they find someone, that person will move to another company after realising how salaries are in London.

Oh, I thought that wolframalpha was limited to maths. Thanks, TIL.
