I hate to break it to you, but if you are making £400&#x2F;£450 per day as a Ruby contractor in London with less than 1 year of development experience, you are either insanely good or insanely lucky (probably both).<p>Although I&#x27;m working on contract in Japan at the moment, I spent the last 2 years working in London and interviewing people for positions almost every day.  Entry level for a good Ruby dev is £30-40K for a full time position.  Some companies pay higher (some significantly higher), but they will only hire one in 1000 applicants, probably.  There are still people in London making £22K per year as a full time Ruby dev.<p>And, no, you can not live on £22K per year in London :-P
