Salary & Negotiation

Know your worth and don't leave money on the table

🔑 Key Concepts

UK AI salaries — Junior £50-70K, Mid £70-100K, Senior £100-150K+. Check levels.fyi and Otta for current data.
Total comp — Base + equity + bonus + benefits. A £80K + 0.1% equity startup ≠ £90K Big Tech.
Never anchor first — 'I'm flexible, what's the range for this role?' Let them set the anchor.
Competing offers — The single strongest negotiation tool. Get 2+ offers and let them compete.

💡 Practice: Try implementing each concept yourself before moving on. Reading about RAG and building RAG are very different things.
