Day rate for an "OK" software dev on a contract is about £600-800 last I checked. private sector is probably £80-140k for the same, civil servant more like £40-70k

A lot of companies (until recently) were outsourcing to Russian and Ukrainian devs much cheaper than that.
However, I think that looking at the salary numbers in isolation probably overstates the "like-for-like" economic gap. We have tried to poach devs that have been happy to stay on lower comp in the public sector for employer pension contributions, job security, flexibility / work-life balance etc etc

What’s the delta between agency+contract+outsourced wages vs the gap between public sector pay and market rate?
