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: Analyst jobs are degree level: the employer sponsors you at GBP 41,700 or the job's going rate if higher (finance analysts about GBP 45,800).
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: A lower floor of GBP 33,400 applies in some cases, such as new entrants. The employer must hold a sponsor licence and you need a confirmed job offer first.
