No I didn't. I suggest you re-read the thread. I said 75K-90K max.

There are always certainly outliers. However most of those places usually have a bunch of iffy things going on e.g. you have to live at your workstation/laptop, or they are in the middle of no where. Enforced pair programming (fuck that btw), or have a stupid interview process (no I won't go through the humiliation rituals anymore).
However the vast majority of positions are paying max 65-70K for a Senior Dev.
I am glad that you managed to find something. But the rest of us haven't been as lucky.

"Most software dev roles in the UK top out between £40 and £50k, £60k if you're lucky" was the comment I was replying to.
But I agree we don't compete with the USA. Even London struggles with that.

Yeh I figured that. No worries.
I just found multiple jobs that pay more than that easily.
85k job up north is a comparable lifestyle than 100k+ job in London.
