Nice to know we are getting shafted on this side of the pond. Even worse for me - I'm being simultaneously penetrated twice.

how much money do you get sho?

Mine's correct. It says around $60k for under 10 years experience, which equates to £36k, I am just under this and entry level.

Emigrate then. Remember to post how much greener the grass is.

Emigrate I will. And the grass isn't the only thing that will be greener on that side.

I get paid just shy of £24K to be the Systems Engineer of a pretty big company. I'm about £10K short of what I do for these jokers.

I know it's a common misconception to think you do more than the norm but I KNOW I do more. We have about 50+ sites around the world and I've took my region from zero to hero. I can confidantally say that I have the strictest and best security performance baseline for all systems in our region than any other office in the world. This was never the case before I came onboard and I made this happen under a period of 2 years.

The academic certs I have acquired since being here further enhance my profile. I am current and firing on all cylinders.

Funnily. my manager agrees with everything but has his hands tied as increases require approval several steps above him - Director, Exec Dir, Vice President, President.

I know I will never get what I am worth whilst being here so I will have to move onwards or upwards....

You could of course make yourself feel better and look up Indian IT salaries.

Seriously mate, this is a US survey - how relevant do you honestly think it is to those of us in Blighty? Picking out just one of a multitude of differences (geographic location being perhaps the most obvious) we don't have to pay a vast % of our salaries to a private healthcare provider...we have the NHS

You may well be underpaid - but I would focus on the UK market to determine this, rather than looking up a similar role in Arkansas and having a moan!

Try this one.

Wow, we employ our graduate system engineers on more than that. Most of ours have been here a few years so their salaries should be mid 30k, maybe more.

You are being rather underpaid

Just checked how much 'technical architects' (for that is what i am) get paid in London financial jobs. I now feel a bit underpaid!! £70-£100k

I think i might be in the wrong bit of IT.
