key levels to pump your income from work.....

- level of experience / seniority,
- industry to work in,
- contract vs perm
- location of job,
- tax situation
- taking into account commuting costs
- taking into account accomodation costs

GENERALLY, and I can't be assed if anyone replies with nit-picking of exceptions, London pays more than elsewhere in UK. In many industries within the PRIVATE SECTOR it is a substantial difference for London. On the other hand, accomodation costs in London are generally the highest in the UK. An idea of how much it costs to rent or buy in London can be garnered from any major UK property website.
