Not for anyone with those skills. As a contractor in London they'd be looking at something between £70k and £150k+.

Makes me wonder wether our security services really are recruiting the best they can find, or just the best they can afford.

SIS sister Org was pitching people on linked-in recently my mate who is ex MI got one and laughed and joked "not on those poverty wages"

The problem is for liberal arts grads civil service wages aren't to bad but its far to low for technical specialists - and a contractor Data scientist can earn more than the PM

The idea that the PM should be earning more than the tech staff doesn't make any sense to me and isn't reflective of the contract market anyway.

The PM's salary is artificially low for PR reasons. Many many local government heads earn far more than the PM.

A lot of those figures are not really annual salary the really big figures are skewed by people taking early retirement.
