We really need unions. These polls only help so much. Unfortunately also, there are both retard programmers, and actual programmers. I worked with a retard programmer, he thought that learning Django was a feat of strength...sigh..when I told him about OOP he almost shit his pants.

Salary: £85k + bupa + pension and a 25% of gross salary (£~21k) a year paid each quarter if objective are met (70% or above).

Tech: Primarily Java with some C, C++ and more recently Go (although Go is only in our code playground, nothing even close to production yet)

Location: West London

Company: Small but well established (since 1996). There are 4 developers including myself. One software is one part of what we offer.

Edit: I know you said without benefits, etc. but I included it for others as well. Just look at the £85k figure if you want a hard number.

Maybe it was for him?

You shouldn't be so hard on someone else. I'm sure there are people here way smarter than you or I, and they don't call us "retard programmers".

You are making decent money compared to SF. According to the poll, not many are though. Does the UK not value intellectual workers?
