You're having a laugh. £23k for a "rockstar developer" with 2+ years of Rails experience? In London?

Here is some market data http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/ruby%20on%20rails.do Bear in mind that the real "rockstars" are likely to be freelancing.

Yeah, good point. I'm new to this hiring thing, so I'm trying to establish a reference point. I specifically mentioned "junior", but still, you're right, all the good ones will be freelancing.

I'll rethink my strategy!

Maybe they mean £23k per month?

you could buy a lot of good soup for that, or spend a long holiday in cambodia!
