I had a similar one from that guy asking me to make open source PRs to some repo of theirs for, err, $25-50/hour. I replied explaining that senior software engineers in the UK aren’t quite as desperately poor as that, and got a canned response saying that they were looking forward to reviewing my PRs :D
Blows my mind that you guys are so expensive lol.
SWE salaries in the UK are fairly unsurprising as they tend to be more or less in the range of other professional salaries. If they’re high from a worldwide point of view that’s just because most of us are in London and London is a high cost of living city.
