I think you should definitely start looking for a job. Your low wages
only go to the credit of your manager or benefit shareholders.
I moved to London for my first job, then gradually moved outside. I certainly think you have to move where jobs are.
Do not worry about your boss upset or angry if (s)he found out you are
looking for a job? (S)he is not stupid, with that kind of wages, (s)he
is expecting you to hop for next job. In fact, probably ur boss
surprises that u have stay that long.

RE: UK DEVELOPER WAGES
I am sorry to hear that you have a low wages.
The only advise I can give is that:
- Have you expressed how dissappointed you are with the wages? If so,
what's the outcome by the managment. Ask your manager pin down what
factors lower ur wages.
- Are you in a job catchment area? eg M4 corridoor That can make the bargain a hell lot of different.
- People always compare. Are you less technical than the others? If
other team members are WAY technical than you AND they are willing to
teach you. Then stay for a while, learn as much as you can. Knowledge
is an asset that no one can take from you. Equally, u can quit and
learn from the others in next job.
- Also, how old are you if you don't mind me asking? If you are in ur
mid 20, then I advise you ask for pay rise now, otherwise leave. You
probably end up 25k when you are 35. Let say they bump that to 19k, you
immediately start looking for a new job pay around 25k. Because when
you jump to next job, they may ask you what's your current salary. I am
sure you can bluff and hope they won't check. The person who will
employ you would also bargain, they may be less willing to pay someone
from < 17k to 25k than 19k to 25k. U know what I mean
In technical career, a job should be paid based on how competent,
knowledgeable, hands-on, multi-tasking and how much team worker you
are, NOT qualification.
Good luck.
