Not making 6 figures, but I could if I took fewer holidays. London based, doing full stack javascript - mostly focus on the front end.

What sort of level would you say you were at with regards to your js knowledge, and how long have you been working with it?

I'm still pretty green and living up north, but looking to the future, I could see me having to move to get a decent salary, just wondering how feasible it may be.

I was hired as a senior contractor. I work with JS for about 5 years, 3 years as primary language. All of it professionally.

I think it's totally feasible. I moved here when I was 19 with the salary between 30-40k. 3 years later, I am doing something I always wanted for a great amount of money. I think without these two rules I wouldn't make it: - Invest in knowledge - Don't put your age on CV

But London is all about trying imo.
