Hey everybody! Is someone here from the U.K.? I have some questions about java job and related, thnx in advance for any info
- Assume I have 3 years experience, including core java, j2ee platform (such as websphere or jboss), and related technologies: xml, ant, jsp, ejb etc. etc. What salary can I expect?
- Do english employers prefer to hire native speakers? Can I have any problems with finding a job just because I'm polish? I have a Cambridge Advanced English Certificate, would it help me?
- What is the cost of living (food, taxes, accommodation)? How much money can I save approximately?
- What is the standard of working time (hours/week) in the U.K.?

Thnx for response, Vijayendra!
I think a permission to work wouldn't be a problem as Poland is in the European Union now. From may 2004 I don't need any special permission.
You said it's possible to save about GBP 1000 a month (living fragily) and that you've spent GBP 800 a month living there. Does it mean I can expect to get about GBP 2000 a month? I've seen some job offers, they end up on GBP 4000 a year for 3 years experienced developer - you think it's impossible to get such a job?
Where do you live now? Can you suggest any other country good for saving money ? I mean good income (earnings)/outcome (accommodation, food) ratio. I'm totally mobile and adaptive person, I can work anyplace in the world. If it would be such a need, I can even learn japanise.
Once again, thnx for posting!

1. I did send my CVs to the postings in nearby towns. But I do not hear from them at all! I can work in UK. Do I need to mention it specifically to them while applying? Does processing take a lot of time here?

2. Anyone knows if the locations mentioned in the postings are the consultancy locations or the job locations or .... (hope it is not like this) it depends on the one who is posting the job oppotunity?
