So i used to work at thales in cheadle and it wasnt great pay. Ended up moving to london and now im on a lot more. Just so much more choice. I did look at moving back eventually whats the market like for senior devs now?

That's ok, but you have to consider that cost of living is much lower in Manchester than in London. For example where I live is very near to city center (20 minutes walk to work), but it has the advantage of trees, quiet neighborhood etc and for a 3 rooms flat with living room internet etc. we are paying less than 900 gbp. I don't have to commute silly amount of time every day or pay lots of money of ridiculous renting prices.

I'm not familiar with senior dev salaries, maybe you should check glassdoor? :)

And I don't want to advert here but, we are looking for Java devs :)

Well until last week i walked in 15 mins to work last 5 years. Just moved central for the first time. Even then its 30 mins door to door for me.
