Just trying to see if salaries are about the same over there.

As Senior person you can even get around £90K working for the government.
The best Perm I have been offered here was £130K basic +£30K bonus+ bens as BI Practice Head.
That was around 8 years ago.
Likely to be less these days
I would say £100K+ here would still be achievable for me here.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

Heading towards 50 myself (they accept up to 57 for IT skill visa), but lucky I have family connections there too.
I'm really done with it here currently, shame to say, but that's how it is.
It may turn out to be a good thing, as whoever is in here they are going to be grabbing all they can tax wise .
Good luck with the moveDo what thou wiltComment
