The salary for a "Senior Expert" developer in "Everywhere else in UK" is 60K GBP.

You would make more money overall by renting a 1 bedroom flat in London, leaving it completely empty and telling GitLab you live there.

Yes, even accounting for tax.

You could sublet that apartment too to recoup some costs.

if you have nothing else to do in your life, yes you could do that

Yeah, who wants to make money? What a waste of time.

I mean, this whole thing is arbitrary.

You could just get a postcode. Ask a friend to take mail for you. Get a flat share and use it as a pied-a-terre. And so on and so forth.

Who knows. They can play the code golf, not me.

(I love GitLab. Their hiring is just odd.).
