Is it normal to have a $50k base in Europe?
It’s Probably in GBP. Which makes the bonus even more impressive but given the year in Europe. Not surprised either you killed it or are dead. Congrats man
Don't think so. Almost a purely performance based contract, it's a quite small prop shop. Think base salaries should be around 150k for similar position, esp in London.
are you based in London ?
