    I’m a senior in the north east and I’m on 32k. But cost of living and houses are sooooo much cheaper here. I am not scraping by, I’m doing good.

      I’d say you’re very underpaid, I’m making about 50% more than that in a fully remote UK-based mid-level position. You should start looking for a new job, even if it’s just as leverage to get paid fairly at your current place.

        To add to this, I get paid more as a junior in Wales which should be comparable to NW England economically.

      However things like cars, phones, vacations, gas/petrol or electricity still cost the same everywhere…
