Been wondering about this a lot recently - perm salaries have gone through the roof for developers, genuine roles for say .net developers around 45-50k in the north west?!
I have a friend of mine who owns a company and he can't find any half decent .net developers for 45k. I have tried asking my contacts if they would be interested (including some past colleagues from Lithuania) and they won't even move here for effectively doubling their income. Then I look online and see that the average salary is 27,000....
Does IT really pay that well even for non-specialists?
Are the good times coming back or perhaps they are already? I know for sure that I won't be leaving this company until they won't need me anymore as the rate is more than I could have ever imagined when I started contracting nearly 5 years ago....
