In the UK tech hiring is fairly buoyant at the moment, and the salaries being offered have got some long-needed growth (over this last year we've begun seeing 6 figure senior developer jobs in the east midlands, whereas a couple of years ago getting a £60k salary for a senior in the east midlands was quite the achievement).

Hmm, interesting, maybe I should look into the UK market then... Because I often see open positions in the UK segment on the company job boards, just didn't know if it's mostly fake ones as in NL and FR.

The ones I see coming up repeatedly on LinkedIn are real jobs, but for places with high staff churn - Bet365 in Stoke for instance have a voracious appetite for recruiting System Development Managers, mainly because they can't get anyone to stay in the role more than a month.

Last time I checked they don't pay well though.

Unlikely they'll hire people requiring visas though. Unless you're exceptional talent, of course.

Woah the £100k glass (class) ceiling was broken in the east midlands? Does it involve commuting to London?

[drrob]

Fortunately it does not. I'm in Nottinghamshire, and the only way I used to be able to do £100k round here was contracting, but the times they are a changing it seems.

That's fantastic, especially in light of the death of IR35 contracting
