120 grand is not the norm for contractors in London.

Glassdoor has London at 52k and Toronto at 44k. Rent in London is almost 50% higher than Toronto and the housing stock in London is awful.

I am talking about full time salaried positions though which rarely break 80k in London (less than what I am currently making in Toronto). My last offer in London was a pathetic 45k.

All figures in GBP.

I have not heard of salaries as low as 45k cad in london since about 6-7 years ago.

Unless! The offer you had was bound to a visa. Sponsored developers are indeed on very very low rates.
