“Housed” savings assume the employer provides accommodation; “self-paid” deducts typical shared rent of €650/mo. Net pay uses United Kingdom's typical take-home rate of about 72% of gross.
Work permit & visa
Skilled Worker visa (sponsored). Needs a licensed sponsor and a job on the eligible list; an approved English test and a salary threshold apply. Typical processing runs about 3–8 weeks once the employer-side steps are done. An English test such as IELTS may be requested for some roles.

Indicative estimates, not a job offer. Salary, cost and savings figures are modelled from each occupation's rough EU average and a per-country wage index, and exclude employer-specific terms, exchange-rate swings and personal tax. Visa rules are summarised for general guidance. Always confirm pay and immigration rules with the official source or embassy, and never pay a fee for a job offer you have not verified.
