I graduated from a computer science degree in 2024 (with a first). I was on a 4 year course (with placement year) and went back to my placement role in 2024. I’ve since had a promotion from Jr SWE to SWE after (1 year) and am now on 36k. I live in Brighton with my girlfriend who is on around £1700 PCM (PIP and part time job).

Main outgoings that can’t really change :

Rent: 675

Bills: ~400

What do I do next?

I like my job a lot but after spending time on this subreddit I feel extremely underpaid, especially as I’m not far from London (I live in Brighton).

Only saving around £200 per month.
