Brightmine: The average salary of females in the UK is £8,000 less than that of male

There is still a big difference in paychecks, but gaming is doing better than the technology sector in general.

The study is based on data from more than 25 companies with a total of over 3,000 employees.

---

• The average base salary for males in the UK is £49,695; for females, it is £41,174.

• The wage gap is 17.1%. This is higher than the national average gap (14.7%) but lower than the gap in technology industries (25.8%).

• According to Brightmine, the highest proportion of women is found among office managers (98%); and in management (77%).

• Men are most represented among game artists (97%); marketers (97%), and QA specialists (96%).

❗️The gender distribution by profession does not reflect the subjective picture of what I see in studios. It would be interesting to have a look at the sample.
