£52k doesn't seem unrealistic but I think it's distorted by the banks & hedge funds. Wouldn't expect to see a start-up paying that sort of salary unless it's a betting exchange. <div><br></div><div>That being said, £25-30k does sound very low for what they're looking for (full stack Python programmer)</div>

Is it fair to say that I hope the salary being offered already does<br>
that? Seems really low for near-London.<br>
<br>
Actually I have no idea. Is there a well known range for fair and<br>
appropriate salaries for Python devs in the vicinity of London, or<br>
perhaps it is standard to list low, offer high?<br>
