The recession was always bound to exert downward pressure on starting wages - but Formula Won Recruitment are surely taking the piss with their advert for a B2B editor “with significant experience” to help produce a “lively mix of magazines and newsletters” in the property sector for a salary of between £18,000 and £25,000.

So to edit not just one but several publications - in London! - you are getting a salary that seems more commensurate with managing an average sized provincial amusement arcade.

By way of a reality check - a trainee McDonalds manager in Doncaster can look at a starting salary of £18,500 and they also get company car, pension, private health care and a potential bonus.
