SQL developer salaries in South East
What SQL roles actually advertise in South East, measured from live vacancies on employer careers pages rather than survey responses.
These figures come from 15 vacancies that published a salary, out of 30 live SQL roles in South East. Every one was read from the employer's own careers page — this is what companies are advertising, not what candidates report earning.
Where a range is advertised we take the top of the range, so read the median as the ceiling a typical employer is willing to reach. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year.

How we measure this
We crawl UK employers' own careers pages, classify each vacancy against a published taxonomy, and read the salary exactly as the employer stated it. Nothing here is reposted from another job board, and nothing is modelled or estimated.
