alt Hacker NewsSounds like a very cool job, and not sure about the UK job market, but seems to be wildly underpaid for the qualifications!

Not disagreeing, but it's also worth something to know, and say, that you are in charge of Stonehenge.
36 hours per week. 25 days vacation (going to 28). Pension contributions. You can buy extra leave. Epic location, fun job, decent salary for the UK (where e.g. you don't pay for healthcare)...
This is a decent salary for a heritage job. It is a very poorly-paid sector. On building sites with archaeological excavations, the person driving the digger is likely to be paid more than the archaeologists, who probably have postgraduate degrees.
I'm not in the UK, but from what I understand that's actually decent. US salaries, particularly in tech, are wildly higher than in most of Europe.
Don't forget to deduct the 25% effective tax rate.

this isnt all that *bad for something in the conservation / heritage / ngo sector
edit: *obviously its not a wonderful salary, but for the sector....well I've seen worse.
The charity sector rarely pays well.
Just a smidge over $63k after tax and before gibbs.
The job market over here is shocking.

Especially considering minimum wage “salary” in the UK is ~24k GBP, 64k is nothing imo. They call it the “wage squeeze”
This, shockingly, is actually quite well paid considering for the UK.
Lead Data Scientist for the UK Government is currently advertising for a salary of £57,670 - £67,500.
