    Have you considered the pay is lower because the benefits are higher? In the UK they have universal healthcare which means that part of your salary which used to go to healthcare is now not needed.

    Bro I’m not even from the UK I’m from Spain where wages are lower in technical fields and all your “benefits” are the bare minimum any job offers. You then need to offer stuff like remote work, flexible pay, flexible hours, restaurant ticket and more for me to consider a lower wage.

    I’m on a technical field and 30k€ would be the bare minimum I would ask for a job after having like 2 years of experience.

    Not even trying to negotiate from 30k means they are asking lower than 25k and that’s laughable low for a tech job.

    And I’m in Spain, one of the cheapest European countries regarding tech work pay.

      Agree, 30k €/£/chf is very low.

      I’ve never worked nor lived in London but it is a capital, it should be at least 50k.

      In Switzerland we would have something around 75 to 120k chf according to specific details (industry, experience, location etc).
