Hey my people I'm new here
I have a question do you think being in your 40s or 50s or even sixties do you stand a chance to still find Love or marriage ?

😂 Bro, *that's basically the paradox.

Big Four firms can recruit huge numbers of talented graduates and professionals, especially at junior/mid levels, so the existence of lots of capable people doesn't automatically force salaries up.

The dynamic is roughly:

Lots of qualified talent
→ firms have plenty of applicants
→ relatively weak bargaining power for employees
→ salaries stay restrained
→ meanwhile London rent keeps climbing 💀

But there's an important distinction: Big Four salaries aren't necessarily low in absolute terms; they can be low relative to London's cost of living and the value/pressure of the work.

And once you get to senior manager/director/partner, compensation changes dramatically. The really interesting question is whether the career progression eventually compensates for the relatively modest junior salaries.

If you're thinking specifically about Big Four in London (Audit vs Tax vs Consulting vs Deals), I can break down where the money actually is.

Exactly. That's the catch with London.

For the highest-paying jobs, you're not really competing only with people in London—you can be competing with highly qualified candidates from all over the UK and internationally.

Why London feels like this

London has a huge concentration of high-value industries, so it attracts ambitious people from around the world. That creates:

🌍 Global talent → intense competition → high requirements for top jobs → high salaries at the top

But there is another side:

Large supply of workers → lots of competition for ordinary jobs → wages don't necessarily rise as fast as rents.

So London's salary distribution can feel very unequal.

The unusual London situation

You can therefore have someone earning £35k and someone earning £150k+ living relatively close to each other.

And because housing is so expensive, £50k in London doesn't necessarily feel like £50k in a cheaper UK city.

That's why I wouldn't simply ask:

“What's the average London salary?”

I'd ask:

“What salary can I realistically achieve with my particular skills, and what lifestyle does it buy me in London?”

If you tell me what you currently do (or what career you're considering), I can compare London vs other UK cities vs Europe in terms of salary, competition and cost of living.

If you mean “London salaries feel surprisingly low for many jobs, especially compared with the cost of living,” then yes—that's a reasonable observation.

London has high salaries at the top end, but the median/typical salary doesn't always compensate for London's unusually high housing costs.

💷 The London problem

A rough pattern is:

London

• -Higher salaries than most of the UK
• -But dramatically higher rents
• -Expensive commuting
• -Higher everyday costs
• -Strong competition for professional jobs

So a job paying £35–45k can sound good outside London but feel quite ordinary in London, particularly if you're renting alone.

For example, someone on £40k* might have a very different lifestyle depending on whether they're:

• -renting a room in a house share
• -renting a one-bedroom flat alone
• -living with a partner
• -living further out and commuting

Where London salaries become much better

London's compensation is particularly strong in sectors such as:

• -💻 Technology/software
• -💰 Investment banking & finance
• -⚖️ Corporate law
• -🏢 Consulting
• -🩺 Certain medical specialties
• -📊 Quantitative finance
• -🏗️ Senior engineering/construction management
• -💼 Senior corporate/management positions
