'Ello,
I am thinking of becoming a web developer for my future job, but I was wondering what the pay for developers are? I am more interested in the coding and scripting aspect of creating websites than the design, does any one know what the average amount a web developer can get paid in England (United Kingdom)?
I have only just started University so still have a long time to go until I have to decide on a job (although it will be one in IT). I always thought web developers were well paid but I got told by someone in my class who worked in a web development company for work experience a year ago that they are not that well paid, so I thought I would ask here (found this forum on a Google search) about the pay in this field.
I know that a job isn't all about the money and is also about what I enjoy doing, but the thing is I enjoy doing many different aspects of computing such as web development, networking, computer repairs/building sort of things; so I would probably go for the best paid out of the areas I am interested in.
The reason I am asking this now is that next year I have a year’s work placement and I was told by lectures that it is better to look for placements early to find one I would like. So I am just wondering what type of IT field I should o my placement field in and one of the things I am considering is the money, not so much the money for the work placement, but after I leave University generally people can get jobs in the place hey did their placement. So I want a field of IT that I enjoy and pays well.
Thank you in advance El Barto.
