alt Hacker NewsEspecially considering minimum wage “salary” in the UK is ~24k GBP, 64k is nothing imo. They call it the “wage squeeze”

The UK has had substantially less wage inequality than the US for a long time. The UK “wage squeeze” is median/minimum wage which has gone from the 1/3 to 2/3 since ~2000 as the minimum wage has been raised. But the relevant difference here would be around 90th percentile/median which is 1.85 in UK vs 2.4 in US and even higher in California.

This is like 90th percentile UK salary. It's good pay for the UK, a poor country.

Yeah, but 25 days holiday plus bank holidays means you're working like half the year at most. ;)

Average full time salary is 40k GBP. It’s +50% on the average which seems right for a non profit organisation in a non exec role
