How to use this guide
Use these ranges as a sanity check, not a promise. If an advert is well below the bottom of the range for the role, ask why. If you are being offered near the top, that usually reflects experience, unsocial hours, a shortage of candidates or a role with more responsibility. When you are negotiating, come with a figure and a reason: your experience, relevant tickets or qualifications, and what similar roles are paying locally.
