About the UK's jobs market

About the UK's jobs market

The UK ranks #7 out of 53 countries for mid-level engineering pay, positioned between Australia (£72.9k) and Norway (£67.6k). Mid-level software engineers earn between £60.1k at the 25th percentile and £80k at the 75th, with a national median of £69.6k.

The function spread is notable: software engineering at £69.6k sits 40% above operations generalist roles at £49.7k. The UK's unadjusted gender pay gap of 23.6% is essentially at the market-wide average of 23.8%, with 39.4% female representation.

Companies like Wise, Zoopla, and Octopus Energy use Ravio to benchmark across the UK's dual-speed market, where London compensation significantly outpaces regional rates — a dynamic that demands separate calibration for hub and hybrid-remote hiring.
