I'm sure you can't answer this, but are you paying him anywhere near $100,000 (£66,000)? In my experience that's about twice what a bog standard junior dev outside of finance, Facebook, Palantir, Facebook etc gets in London.
I would be astonished. I'm a junior on £27k, and when I was looking for jobs I never saw a single one at that level advertised over £30k.

Which rather puts the £8k fees in an unflattering perspective, but there you go.

that's a little high I heard the average was around the £50k mark.

if its is so it's time to dust of my interesting bits of my job using ML to optimise ppc acountmanageent

no where near that figure, obviously can't give specifics but its not even approaching half of that salary
Hey, GA Instructor here! Did he do FEWD or WDI?
he did the WDI course and has nothing but good things to say about it :))
