#82Throwaway. Data Scientist, Insurance, FT, 39k a year, approx 3 years experience.
Oh, yeah, also got a PhD in Maths. And am looking for a new position.
Shoot me an email (see profile). Medium sized company - analytics, financial services, other interesting data science stuff. Offices in London and elsewhere :-) I'll help steer you to our HR people and if you're successful, will receive a modest introduction bonus. We pay well, but not investment bank salaries. We have lots of PhDs - they're coming out of our ears, so you'll feel quite at home. It also seems that the planets are in alignment for our tech and its place in the market, so things are very upbeat right now.

#83"Lead Developer" with a startup, £55k (I refused options in preference of salary). I have a PhD (4 years programming), and ~4 years professional experience as well. Previous roles: Fresh Graduate: "Developer" £28k + £3k bonus. Fresh PhD Graduate: "Senior Developer" £40k.
Mind if I ask what the tech stack is? I wonder if there's significant disparity in relation to the tech stack.
Oldest job was SQL/.NET and ActionScript, Post-PhD was mainly Python/C on Linux (I did a lot of that during the PhD too) and latest one is C++, PHP, SQL and little bits of others.

Any recommended locations to look at?
Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, Liverpool... probably in that order. I've heard good things about Glasgow, Birmingham and Cardiff too. The North West has been good to me and I've never really had to leave the area because there's pretty good transportation links over a wide area with a large population. And I've lived and worked in Berlin too, it's nice, but by no means the perfect solution. And y'know... it m…
"Close" is a relative term.
Is it closer to London a little Scottish town, far from any airport or major communications hub, than Paris or Barcelona?

Re: Ask HN: How much do you make in London?
#85Developer (currently at a startup) £62k, no stock but I do have a pension/healthcare.
17 years experience, initially as a general web developer, then front end, now more back end. Currently Ruby on Rails but I can turn my hand to almost anything.
Not a manager, not a senior developer, not a tech lead. No desire to be.
I work quite short hours (9.30-5) and that's what's most important to me.

#86Contract Senior Developer, stack is usually SPA (Angular/React) with "modern" .NET.
Current gig £475pd, to be honest I had better leads but the client offered the same day of interview and I started the following day.
I have 6 years experience and no degree.
Guy next to me does the same job for 53k.
Edit: media type of industry. Work normal hours, usually 9-5:30.

#87(throwaway account for obvious reasons) Web Developer in London for a dating company - £75000 pa (with bonuses it's around £110000 pa)
excellent income; you can almost afford to buy a flat in London for that.

You should try Nottingham too. There is at least 1 major brand with deep pockets offering very interesting amounts of money for developers at the moment.
