Wait so it's possible a Senior Dev outside of London would make $35k??

I'm a senior in the north east and I'm on 32k. But cost of living and houses are sooooo much cheaper here. I am not scraping by, I'm doing good.

I'd say you're very underpaid, I'm making about 50% more than that in a fully remote UK-based mid-level position. You should start looking for a new job, even if it's just as leverage to get paid fairly at your current place.

To add to this, I get paid more as a junior in Wales which should be comparable to NW England economically.
