£35-40k before taxes is also nothing…
So that depends on your perspective.
If you are 21 years old, straight out of University it is roughly double what you will get anywhere else. I wouldn’t take a role at that salary but then I wouldn’t take an entry level role.
The median salary for everyone in the UK working full time is about £30k, so for an entry-level pentester to start in the top half of salaries is pretty good. If the same person was a medical doctor, they’d be looking at about £23k to start.
