How Much Can I Earn?

UK Opportunities…

"UK has offered me so many opportunities I couldn’t have even dreamt of! The diversity and exposure you get from working in London is unparalleled and I certainly wouldn’t have had the career opportunities I have today if I didn’t move abroad. It’s great to be working in a country that remains ahead of the curve in innovation, technology and talent sourcing"

Before you land in the UK…

"Before you land in the UK, make sure you have done a lot of work on CV and interview preparation, and have talked to others in the UK to learn from their experiences.

Many people are generous with their time if you show that you are ambitious and will not require too much of them."
