Hi. Anyone here works in finance in the UK? I'm moving there soon and I find salaries to be a bit low, e.g., £30K. Is this the norm?

I have a little over 1 YOE with a Bachelor's in Finance and soon a Master's. Thanks.

£30k is absolutely NOT the norm. The standard for entry-level (analyst) in front office used to be £50 but that was before the industry-wide raises in junior pay and inflation adjustments. Now street is more like £70-75k and you have a shot at getting more if you land a very good offer. Do not accept a £30k offer under any circumstance, you will never be able to afford living in London on that wage.

Woof, glad you commented! I've been considering a move as well but hadn't gotten this deep looking into it yet. Was about to abandon the idea altogether.
