Funny enough, I probably did more software engineering as a web dev than I did as a software engineer at some companies.

In the UK, at least, the only difference typically between a web developer and a software engineer is £15-20k in salary. Frankly, we're all software engineers...

Varies heavily dependent on industry, but typically less than US devs. Also if you live outside London it's going to be a lot less.

You average non-junior dev will probably make about 50-60k £ in london but about 25-35k £ outside london.

Senior developer can vary heavily. in london I've seen 60-120k depending on language and industry.

Holy shit, that's nothing outside of London. At that point be a restaurant server.

One thing in the US that has been encouraging is the very lowest earners are getting big jumps in pay, while people like devs are stagnating
