That sounds like it's the going rate for a junior web designer... I don't think you'd find many junior roles for £18k+ in London?

good for a juniour rate, i started on 12 doing that shit.

Fair enough, except from the sound of the role description they just stuck "junior" on there while still expecting someone experienced and not junior. Seems to be more and more of it going around in the UK. I wouldn't know how to live in London on £18k.

Ten years ago when I was working as a junior graphic designer I was certainly not a Photoshop or Illustrator "expert".

ive been using photoshop for about 15-16 years maybe and i'm in no way an expert in it.
an expert is someone who knows absolutely everything about a package, i've no way used EVERYTHING in photoshop or indeed in illustrator.Other than the "expert" unrealistic spec its a pretty good 'want list' for decent money for someone with good skills coming out of art college.
Certainly a lot more realistic than US ads i've seen wanting PHP, XML, Flash Wizard, Designer, CSS, HTML, and every software program under the sun.
- Expert is used as reference as stated from the recruitment consultants to expected level, blame them for defining things in such ways!Grafisk08
- ive seen jobs in the UK asking for all those things recentlyFallowDeer

For the record, if I was fresh out of school and still lived with my parents, I'd apply.

I get by fine on £1000 a month in London after tax. I live less than 10 minutes from London Bridge in a lush shared Victorian House, happily afford to eat and live well and pay for my rent on that wage. If I weren't going back for my final year of university, this would definitely appeal to me, especially given the great quality of work and clientele they boast.
I'm on paid placement at the moment and when I was hunting for it I looked for Junior roles and offered less experience at a cheaper rate if they'd take me for placement. The going rates for Junior's were all between 16-24k or so.
If anything like this is going around time of my graduation I'll be snapping at heels for the opportunity.
