Is it even possible to make it in the UK? Software developers earn like £30k per year here, whereas in the US they often earn six figures.

just become a woman and get preg. you can get 6-12 mos off work with guaranteed pay. get preg every 18 months is best solution.

Infrastructure work is where the money is in the UK. There’s money in muck

Work up to management you instant-gratification zoomer

So work remotely for companies in the states. Idiot.

>Software developers earn like £30k per year here
I am on 6 figures
>t. bong outside of London

Everyone on Any Forums is a software developer making 6 figures, yet still inexplicably desperate to find a get-rich-quick scheme

Management in what line of work?

Work in cyber security user

I make £45k and I have 2 and a half years experience. I'm 23 and graduated in 202/

where are you looking that only pays £30k for a SWE? even entry level should be around £50k (london) or £40k (outside)

where i work SWE2/ SWE3s are on £65k and £75k respectively, and tech leads are on £90k or thereabouts. we're about middle of the pack in terms of pay, too, because we're a startup. they also get extra comp in stock options but obviously this is often monopoly money

>Is it even possible to make it in the UK?
No, my dad was on a 6 figure salary for years and was still broke thanks to 50+% tax rate (then tax on everything else)

30k is only for Capita and the rest of the dogshit meat grinder companies.
It's a four tier job market of quants, fagman, modern US companies, then average vomit that offers 30k for a London based SWE.
You want to be in the top two tiers, which you do by going to big name universities and grinding leetcode. Failing that, go to the modern US companies, then build skills and go into contracting and work out of a tax haven.

How?

No, I am just hoping and praying that my DCA into crypto from my £28k job while living with parents gets me some decent passive income somewhere in 10 years.

Spring/Java EE pays well, but the work is often the mundane and tedious.

You could never pay me to write java. What a piece of shit

same lol

>not contracting through a ltd company and paying dividend tax rate

How does this work?

This is true. I work on utilities, pay is decent and the work and colleagues are great. I know guys on big infrastructure projects are on big money just for driving dumper trucks around all day. I know some lads who dig holes for gas/water/electric/fibre and they van easily earn £50-100k depending on how much overtime they do. Office fags look down on that sort of work even though they earn less and have a shitty office work environment.

Hey, I can't get a time machine and make him manage his finances better 20 years ago but I can cash out crypto in the cayman islands.

IR35 changes shagged this, in my industry at least.
