Missed opportunity to say they’re ‘looking for a rock star to lead our team!’

They pretty much are, too. It certainly reads like some tech job ads. Rock star with 30 years experience. Graduate wages.

The median income in the UK is currently sitting at £2,627 / week or £31,524 / year [1]. This is advertising more than double that at £64,189, not quite graduate wages!

EDIT: £2,627 / month, not week!

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.

If the UK were a US state, its GDP per capita would rank it roughly on par with or just below Mississippi, making it the poorest state in the union.

While true from a per capita equivalency and too close for comfort, the median net worth of an adult in the UK is roughly $150,000, while in Mississippi it's $15,000. Also, its public services are provided, which substantially affects the quality of life.

that is abysmal!

That's a fairly standard wage outside London for senior developers. UK wages are not great.

i wouldn't call that standard wage, rather the lowest end of the spectrum where you could theoretically shop a "senior" outside of london.

Their senior solution architect vacancy has similar pay: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-people/careers... Somewhat less eminent job title though.

that is abysmal!

As a Finnish dev with 12 years of experience, I can only aspire for such salary.
