It depends who you ask, I guess.
There's a definite shortage outside of London, although few companies seem to want to up their salaries to attract experienced talent. One of the reasons I switched stack was because I would get recruiters emailing every day with new roles, but rarely anything that paid over £45k in Bristol.
In your experience, as a Londoner, is there a demand for experienced devs? I would've thought that big companies would always be looking for developers.
