doesn't sound like much for a senior but I'm not sure on how much the cost of living is over there... good standard of living tho I reckon?
- adore0
whats an average salary mid-weight web design/developer in london then?
- sexypixel0
ya, i suppose rent is cheaper. standard of living is great when the weathers good, but its been muck lately, maybe when all the english rugby fans leave they'll take the clouds with them.

it's ok, get yourself a hoxton fin and a blue short-sleeve shirt and you'll fit right in.
it's bloody expensive though.
