Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Developer and analyst jobs are degree level: sponsored at GBP 41,700 or the going rate if higher (software developers about GBP 54,700, network roles GBP 45,600).
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: Software and architecture roles pay above the general floor (about GBP 54,700 to 54,900), so check the going rate for your job code.
