> the most senior developer in our London based organisation, having been here since the beginning, I make about $11k a month.

Pre or post tax?

As a London fintech contractor (until recently) I have able to pull in around $22k USD pcm pre tax, or very, very roughly $14k USD pcm post tax - contractors have various ways to manage tax load and time off so it's never a direct translation.

$16.5k pcm for an intern still seems utterly crazy, given my starting annual salary of £21k 20 years ago, but if there is a) a ton of money flowing through the company and b) the intern is able to help them bring in more than that over the course of a year then... I guess it's worth it to them, and that's all that really matters.
