Current vacancy numbers and salaries.		Time I did some original thinking. Like thinking about the continued boom in salaries for those with 4-8 years' experience. PMs (3-6 years) are leaving SREs (2-4 years) behind, and ADs have bridged some of the gap to Director level.
Level No. Jobs £ Avge Level No. Jobs £ Avge JRE 21 20900       AD 104 51900 RE 71 25000   Direc 78 76700 SRE 151 29700   Field 19 23000 PM 129 35900   IT / DP 24 27000 RM 66 43200   Other 80 25600
The table shows the number of vacancies at each level on MrWeb at present, and the mean salary for all such jobs. Note that a large number of older job ads are often removed during the first week of a month, so you may see a sharp drop in numbers and a significant change in salaries around this time.
