These require low level programming and device drivers. Also a good
understanding of PC hw that you are less likely to find on the PC
programming groups.

No. They are a solid company that have been around a couple of years and
are expanding.

Yes. You are a bit I am sad to say.

Is the pay scale really that low over there? I would expect the salaries to
be at least double that.

You do realize those are pounds sterling, yes? Those salaries compare
quite favorably with East Coast US salaries.

To who? Unless things have gone down hill there. I was on a salary of
£40k in 1988 just before I left. At that time the house I bought for 55K
in 1986 sold for 98k in March 1989, and was advertised last week at
247k. how the hell can anyone afford a house there? Even if most of them
are identical looking boxes.

someone who needs a job.

They have, Yes these salaries may be less than what was available
in 1999, but in the current market for an engineering position they are
good salaries (if they are genuine!)

Then you weren't an engineer were you?
In 1989 before I returned to contracting IIRC was on 21K, that was a
very good salary for a senior engineer.

They can't. Nearly all of that increase from 100K to 250K has happend
in the last 4 years, During which joininmg salaries for engineers have gone
down 20%.

Well hooray for you.

Those of us uncomfortably close to reality know that salaries of 40 to 72%
of house price are rare.

Reality here is more like less than 20%.

WE CAN'T! Even if we have jobs!

Mortgages are typically 3 or 4 times salary maximum.

In practice, houses have always cost over five times my normal salary.
And that's as an engineer with two degrees.
God knows how the average person manages it.

The housing market is like a nightmare chain letter driven by human greed.
Houses now cost way more than their materials, but we all scrabble to join.
:-<

Houseowners rejoice but they are usually no better off when they have to
move.
It's not so much an increase in real wealth as a decrease in the buying
power of money.

Maybe us engineers will eventually have to move to India to get the work
outsourced by short-sighted Western countries.

working in call centres for far eastern manufacturers.

You are right about UK house prices. If you own a house it is supposedly
worth more, but the next house you want to buy is also that much more
expensive. And if you live in an area with low prices and have to move
to a "popular" area....

It's either that or living on the street though. Wouldn't be surprised
to find some engineers there.

In Japan, land is so scarce and population so high that mortgages are passed
on to children.

Britain will end up like that one day.

I would live in a tent but it would only save a few K.

Plus one still needs a place to cook, ingest and expel food,
wash, and a computer with net connections.

Buddy can you spare a job?

<sound of tin rattling>

opps, sorry

But, all of us Americans know that we are the center of the universe.
Besides, that's still only 1.7 ish times the salary stated, not at least
double.

I worked for the UK office of a US corporation as Managing Engineer
Systems Division. A corporate wide hands on engineering role, rather
than a management role.

In 1997 when I last went back the house was valued at 70k, the market
had taaken a dive. Yet purchasing seems out of reach of first time
buyers, especially, yet rents, when I last looked were horrendous. Given
the mass sell offs of council housing I can't imagine how you can get by

That was always the case.

This is the same everywhere, just to different degrees I suspect. the
more cosmopolitan the area you live in the worse it gets. Two years
after I left Sydney the house I had lived in was sold to 'developers'.
There are now 32 houses on the site. each of them fetched over 200k,
just 50k less than the original cost of the property.

I'm planning a move soon. My 4 bed single story, with views of the local
beach, bought for 105k in 1996 (about £37k at the time) will fetch
around 260k with little or no work on it. With that I'm aiming to move
further out onto a 7 hectare property with a boutique vineyard, larger
house and even better views. Other peoples drive towards the city and
suburbs is working in my favour. Eventually this will all have to end,
but this move is probably my final one anyway.

There will probably be a massive crash, like the depression of the late
20's, very soon, I plan to be retired and self sufficient by then.

It doesn't matter much where you live in this game though Mike. I've
thought a few times of taking up these land giveaways. 5k for half an
acre, all utilities, and guaranteed mortgage to build your own house.
Just bring a family along. Quiet lifestyle (except for the monthly
B&B's), almost totally crime free. I do like the beach though!

Geez, not Boston thankfully. We can beat the top end (50K) at a 1.7
scalar.
