Coming to UK

Mostar95 · February 17, 2009, 11:12am

I am coming to UK at the beginning of the next month and will look for a role in accountancy. Whereabouts the UK should I settle?

Any suggestion?

If you are financially secure, London baby!

Otherwise, northern england is generally cheaper, with regards to living expenses etc..

Re: Coming to UK

Like he has never left home agreed but there are not many jobs here people are struggling to find jobs in accountancy

Re: Coming to UK

London might be the best place, have you applied anywhere for the job? You want to work in a bank or something?

coolmunda · February 17, 2009, 5:36pm

Agreed. I was only joking about the Bradford thing. I guess London will probably be the best place for him to find a job than any other city.

Mostar, have a look at some online job agencies such as Total Jobs, Fih4jobs. May I ask why UK?

Mostar If i recall right u are a chartered accountant? I would say London.

Re: Coming to UK

With a finance background, I say London. Keep Glasgow and Manchester as options.
The job market in London is saturated, but you never know.

Re: Coming to UK

Manchester is a cheaper option than London - especially right now and you don't necessarily have to live IN Manchester - areas around such as Bolton, Blackburn, Preston, Chorley

Also, places you wouldn't think of like Cheltenham or Bristol are also good for jobs in this field I believe
