Earlier quoted context omitted.

I imagine he's talking in £ not $.

I guess I had my conversion rate a bit wrong, 80,000 is about 124891.20 according to google. That seems about on par from my anecdotal evidence.

When I told my mum my salary she dropped the phone. It's roughly double what she was earning at the end of her career as a senior subject teacher, and more than what the headteacher at her large school earned.

In don't work in the City, but they also get bonuses (in return for long hours?). They also get 25-28 days holiday, as is standard, unlimited sick leave etc, which should be taken into account when comparing with the States.

This is great. I've posted about this before, but my biggest pet peeve with /jobs is a lack of location in the title. Presently there are 18 jobs posted there, only 1 (GoCardless - London) mentions a location in the title.

I live in NY and the difference in an office in Brooklyn / Midtown would be the difference in me applying to the job. I imagine East Bay vs. Palo Alto is a similar story.

Bug Report #1: 1. Scroll to the bottom of the list on the right. 2. Click to expand the final item in the list. 3. There is no visual cue that you can now scroll down further to see the expansion. The first item in the list that I click on was the final list item, and I thought that nothing had happened (Note: This could just be an issue with OSX's hidden scrollbars. I can't see if you've disabled it on all platforms…

Thanks for the feedback

ad 1. Yes, I think you right about the this being a bit confusing. Although I'm not sure if scrolling to bottom, would be ideal as well. Although I will try to test your suggestion. Maybe will feel right.

ad. 2. Fixed. This was default for CloudFare (they are awesome)

ad. NOTE. No worries, all the feedback here was great and supper useful.

This is an awesome tool. I wonder if whoishiring would consider asking future job posters to format jobs specifically -- maybe JSONify the key details -- so it's easier for tools like this map to scrape.

There is a note here http://whoishiring.it/#!/add/ about suggested format.

Although "Who is hiring?" has its own tradition and flexibility. So formant shouldn't be enforced be some tool that maps job posts :)

Nice job. You may want to take a look at https://github.com/gaganpreet/hn-hiring-mapped/ , who wrote a python script to extract location info from who's hiring posts. (Demo at http://gaganpreet.github.io/hn-hiring-mapped/src/web/ )

I'm aware of its existence. Even asked a question about license. No response yet.

As for location algorithm. It looks less robust than what I'm using right now. Although I might be wrong. Haven't tested since can't use it.
