I’m starting to get a lot of remote roles for senior developers @ £50-£60k. I 
think eventually the acceptance of remote working from UK companies will drive 
up salaries in non-London roles.

 

Best, Louis.

I only have one question:

Where were all you mid-level developers wanting around 30k for a rails dev 
position in Manchester about 6 months ago!?

I offered a position, and mentioned it to the group, and couldn't get a bite!

 

Anyways, I think Will is in around the correct level, at least as an employer I 
believe it to be true, but we don't know what the agency takes!

Yep, I'm aware of that.

The other Adam said entry -> mid, I just read mid. 

For comparison my first job (January 2000*) was tech support and I was 
on 18k within 3 months. That's 14 years ago. That might be what 
agencies in Manchester are oferring, but it's still bollocks. At that 
sort of level you should consider freelancing, contracting or remote 
work.

lot of jobs.
