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.

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!

I’d like to see where you think these 35k entry level > jobs are in manchester? 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.
