This is why, when asked for salary requirements, the answer is always “Negotiable”.

Unfortunately the form required only a number. They apparently just wanted me to guess. And I seriously lowballed. £30,000 a year for any professional job in London is crazy low.

I feel like part of the insult is also not just with this particular company, but with the industry in general. I worked on the sound side as both production and post, and the amounts that places are willing to pay these engineer roles always seems to be insulting.
But either you take it or leave it, because there’s someone else out there who is desperate enough to work for what they offer. Maybe this isn’t the same across the pond, but it’s sure been my experience here.
