London High-End Salaries


This is London specific.

What was your total compensation (TC) last year, including breakdown into salary, stock bonus (if any), cash bonus (if any), or anything else (benefits, pension etc)? What is your job title, company, industry, or sector? The rules are that any auxiliary information is welcome but optional (if you are worried someone will recognise you don’t give out too much) but top level posts have to have a number on them. Also specify curency if not £
