#32What's your role? I'm a CSO. Oh nice, Strategy or Security? Stonehenge.
Heard of it?

Especially considering minimum wage “salary” in the UK is ~24k GBP, 64k is nothing imo. They call it the “wage squeeze”
This is like 90th percentile UK salary. It's good pay for the UK, a poor country.
The UK is still the 5th biggest economy in the world. Public infrastructure feels like it's under huge strain however, and there is also a big problem with inequality, which seems to be changing under Labour, albeit slowly.

#36Their senior solution architect vacancy has similar pay: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-people/careers... Somewhat less eminent job title though.
I would love to have "Stonehenge architect" as a job title.

Let's not be delusional. The UK is not a poor country, and 64K is low by US tech standards but it's good by any other measure.
It's not a "good" wage in the US. It's exactly median.
Which is fine, someone has to be median, but really underwhelming for the (presumably highly-educated and talented) head of the #1 national historical monument.

Yeah, but 25 days holiday plus bank holidays means you're working like half the year at most. ;)
And don't you knock of at lunch on Fridays anyways? So that's like a 4 day work week, because let's face it, you're not really doing anything on the day you're knocking off early anyways. See you at the pub!

#39Sounds like a very cool job, and not sure about the UK job market, but seems to be wildly underpaid for the qualifications!
36 hours per week. 25 days vacation (going to 28). Pension contributions. You can buy extra leave. Epic location, fun job, decent salary for the UK (where e.g. you don't pay for healthcare)...

Don't forget to deduct the 25% effective tax rate.
