Re: Moving to London, UK
Salary rates are higher in London compared to rest of UK and also living cost.
you have 2 years full time and 5 year part time. with that experience you may not be considered for very senior jobs. you will get better rates than a fresh graduate though.
Contracts pay is higher but assigments are short, you will be looking at rate of ranging from £300 per day to £500+
Permanent Jobs
IT in Investment banking is hot , you can expect minimum of £35K per year to £50K per year at top end.
for non investment IT jobs you can expect £28K to £45K at top end.
Re: Moving to London, UK
Approx 22% of your salary will be payed as tax, in addition to that you’ll be paying National Insurance Contributions ( don’t know how that is worked out…).
If you will be renting or even buying your own property u have to pay Council Tax. If u buy a car then you have pay Road Tax and have your car M.O.T’ed and insured every year.
No doubt, when you buy a house u will buy a television too, u will have to pay tax on that too.
Welcome to UK.
