works for a company that pays its engineers reasonably well?

$200k (TC) is not that high in London for an engineer with 10 years experience

So that's 160k pa total. I'm in London myself

I would be surprised to see someone whose job is coding getting that.

There may be crypto paying silly amounts or lucky start ups.

Either that or I need to brush up my CV

I'm in London and I'm on 400k/year.

See how easy it is to just lie on the internet? :P

I was not saying I was on 160k - i would be happy to announce that if true however :/)

200k USD -> 160K GBP is the point

Yeah I know you weren't, I mean just take it with a grain of salt when everyone on the internet seems to be earning 200k in London

look for developers working at trading firms
