>>>Over here you wouldn't get less than 30k after one year experience. I am currently recruiting here on different levels. Entry level developer=30k, senior level developer=40k. I've also just been taken on elsewhere for 50k (I have many years experience). Anything over 50k would be very senior (hands off management) which I don't want yet (too much to learn). These figures are in US Dollars (I've done the work for you!).

>>>You could get less if you were a *hacker* or a complete newbie (no experience but potential). By *hacker* I mean a braindead programmer who dives in and gets the result with no consideration for any other aspect (tunnel vision programmer).

>Of course, you have to figure in the cost of living in the UK. Comparing London to Boston, things that cost $5 in Boston cost about 5 pounds in London. So those salaries might not be that much better.

I think the trick is to live in a place with a low cost of living and telecommute to a place with a high cost of living. :)
