Hi guys!
It's the first time that I went to the python-uk "confs" (let's call it
some beer between friends) :) But I really enjoyed it! I really like when I
can talk with the people as I knew them from months/lifes ago! I this is
what happened here, I felt really confortable!
I hope to see you in

Russel, I actually had a read of the Equality and Diversity Act 2010.
It defines seven "protected characteristics": age, disability, gender
reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation,
marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity.

I won't argue with your logic, but if a group of people use "energetic" to
mean "young", then that's what it means to them (in some context). I
think "energetic" has been a known as a standard job-ad euphemism for some
time. Whether it has actually been used widely in that way, I don't know

OK, true enough.

Indeed - I'm posting here to a list where (if anyone knows me!) it might be by

As the original poster, this has prompted me to check and I was quite
surprised to see that average salaries have risen by 13% in the last
year alone.
However, to be clear
1. The salaries in these surveys are presumably averaged across all
stages of peoples' 40 year careers
2. We are a fairly smal
Having just gone through this, I would expect a python role of this nature
to be offered between £35-45 k DOE in London.
There are certainly candidates around who could satisfy all of the stated
requirements, but will be given competitive offers from other people
looking.

And thank you for taking the initiative. As I mentioned before, I have
nothing against Google+ as such, except for the fact that I don't really
go there very often. (Maybe this will be an incentive). The current
showing
£52k doesn't seem unrealistic but I think it's distorted by the banks &
hedge funds. Wouldn't expect to see a start-up paying that sort of salary
unless it's a betting exchange.
That being said, £25-30k does sound very low for what they're looking for

Agreed: my father is 63 and far more energetic than me. However, he'd make
a terrible programmer.

Surely it is ageism to imply that energetic implies ageism? In other words,
if a person thinks that energetic implies ageism, then that person has a
preconceived idea of a relationship between energy levels and age,
otherwise they would not have considered such a rule in the first place.
