Earlier quoted context omitted.

I doubt it's a typo. Junior developers are starting on very low rates in the UK these days. I met a mid-level PHP Developer working for a major firm in the UK a few weeks ago, and he was earning £14k!

I was working as a Junior developer for my first company and already had 2 years of experience in freelance work aned as a hobbyist really. I was paid £4,800/a or, £400 per month (which after national insurance etc was a paltry £370.) After I left that job (mostly due to the money, I'm not a greedy person, but my quality of life was ridiculously low) I came to my current job, where in I earn in the region of £22k. Wh…

4800 per annum is not even legal minimum wage for full-time work in the UK, unless you're talking about a very long time ago and not adjusting for inflation. So if that is what you were really paid, you should not only have quit, but reported your employer to the authorities.

My first IT job in the 1990s was 15K per annum, and that was considered low at the time (living in Edinburgh, not as expensive as London but still higher cost of living than average). My more experienced colleagues were earning at least 30K, and that was in 1997.

It was a higher apprenticeship, which lets them get away with paying 1/3 as much for someone with the same talent and experience.

Curious here - is that £20,000-£30,000 an annual salary.. for a CTO ? With only 5% equity in a startup with no existing assets? The only candidates you get are going to be people trying to scam you...

The 5% equity is very much negotiable and it depends on the experience. While we may not have many tangible assets, we have a UI/UX developed, the application does not require a very senior experienced developer and our intangible assets such as our contacts in the industry money cannot buy. We would still like to hear from you if you have any further feedback.

I was interested until I saw that salary. Try £60,000 - £90,000 and you might find some decent CTOs.

Thanks for your feedback. We understand we may not be able to get a very experienced CTO. The 5% equity is very much negotiable and it depends on the experience. The application is fairly simple and does not require a very senior experienced developer. What level of salary would you consider as a minimum along with equity? We would still like to hear from you if you have any further feedback.
