Meeting in London

I think we are slowly reaching critical mass, so it is time to organise the first UK Meeting.

The only questions are when and where. Anyone interested?

HI Aalvarez,

I am really sorry for not replying. Actually I did not have enough time to plan all this stuff.

Indeed I have attended the interview and the result seems to be positive. I have a final telephone converation tomorrow. I would like you to help me out in the salary negotiation.

With 7yrs industry experience and in the Java/j2ee environment, how much can we expect. And also what is the theory behind the Basic salary + Bonus + Car allowance.

May be others also can shed some light on this aspect.

I want to know what are the realistic figures and what are good figures to have to live happily in London.

regards
Jackal.

Hi Jackal,

don't worry, i was sick last week, so i couldn't have made it anyway... as for the salaries...

well, as they say in my land ... it depends on the pig. Beginners get mostly 20-30K everywhere, experienced J2EE developers 30-50k, and if you are in the Banking industry up to 80k, but this is quite rare.
Bonuses are usually non contractual and go from 5% to 20%, again depending on industry.

You can survive, (i repeat, survive) in London on 20k, but to live decently you need to get more than 35k.


@Xenon, do you know whereabouts you are going to be?

Dunno yet Al, I won't be in London directly but in Wokingham and I have no idea how far it is from London. Just drop me your phone number at my email address and I'll get in touch with you as soon as I touch ground there.

Hello,
I am also in London from july 24th to July 23rd to July 29th. In case any of you are meeting during this time let me know. I will be happy to join.
Also if you londoners can help me a bit, it will be great. I am coming for a Oracle training and am looking for a hotel. I am not very conversant with London geography and do not want to land in some far away place from my training center. Could any of you suggest a hotel near the address below costing not more than 100 euro/night(around 65 pound ) .

Oracle Corporation UK Ltd
One South Place
London
EC2A 1SA

Thanks
