I know you recently moved. Have you considered the pay is lower because the benefits are higher? In the UK they have universal healthcare which means that part of your salary which used to go to healthcare is now not needed. Perhaps that’s why they gave you a lower offer than you’re used to in american wages?
If the pay is lower than £30,000 a year, I can’t get a family visa for my wife and daughter.
Meanwhile, a recruited told me I should be asking for £50,000 a year.
And if you look at how much rents are even in the outskirts of London, I think you will find that low amount of pay is not going to let you have much of a life.

Bro I’m not even from the UK I’m from Spain where wages are lower in technical fields and all your “benefits” are the bare minimum any job offers. You then need to offer stuff like remote work, flexible pay, flexible hours, restaurant ticket and more for me to consider a lower wage.
I’m on a technical field and 30k€ would be the bare minimum I would ask for a job after having like 2 years of experience.
Not even trying to negotiate from 30k means they are asking lower than 25k and that’s laughable low for a tech job.
And I’m in Spain, one of the cheapest European countries regarding tech work pay.
I was asking for £30,000 a year. I don’t think that’s unreasonable for a professional position.
Holy shit that’s low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.

Agree, 30k €/£/chf is very low.
I’ve never worked nor lived in London but it is a capital, it should be at least 50k.
In Switzerland we would have something around 75 to 120k chf according to specific details (industry, experience, location etc).
30k a year is like working at Tesco pay, mate
“Junior Video Editor” sounds like it should command a higher price tag than cashiering.
