After China allegedly hacked the UK ministry of defense, it has come to light that it was not so much China’s hacking prowess as it was the UK isn’t paying people enough to care
His Majesty’s Treasury Head of Cyber Security salary: £57500
The entire UK is a country sized Potemkin Village set up by the United States to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.
“You know back in my day the sun never set on our glorious empire”
Oh wow gran that’s amazing. How would you like some mushy peas huh? That sounds good, right?
to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.
Where's my peace motherfucker!?!
You're right, but this applies to like 500 people who run Britain, 300 of which their families always have, and 200 of which pretend their families always did.
It's less than ten years since the British goverment spent several years trying to ban encryption entirely until eventually enough poeple they trust told them they were fucking idiots and it would destroy the economy overnight.
It would be funny if British colleges complied and stopped teaching about encryption and all the fresh government hires have no idea what any of it means
That's like $70k USD lmao, plus it's in one of the most expensive cities on earth. I would assume that they'd be paying a junior cyber security analyst more than that.
Up til recently (pre 12 years of Tories), salaries were a bit better, but mostly the cost of living was in line with the salaries, when you factor in all of the good public healthcare services and railways, even arts/culture.
Then they privatised all the railways and began making the NHS more and more private, while depressing wages of anything that wasn't to do with financial speculation and property.
In London that's all multiplied - finance is very rich, and your average non finance salary should conform to the set London Living Wage (which is higher than the rest of England). The London Living Wage is now however disproportionate to the cost of living. My rents gone up by 300 quid in 3 years, while my house and location have gotten worse and worse.
And now here we are. Pretty much everyone's feeling it. Anything that's not a fat moneymaker is shutting down, so the city has become more and more soulless, giving even less reason to live there other than to chase a bigger salary.
Entry level pay from a state govt position is higher than that where I live.
For something that stressful, that’s not even enough pay to respond to an email, much less orchestrate policy or risk management or even manage a team.
