Sounds quite good for a first job..Many locals in IT roles would be happy earning half that. However, I understand Oracle pros make a lot more in the City (circa 80-100k) but maybe you need a fair bit of UK experience to get those sort of jobs..

Hi All
Even i also want to know that how much salary we can expect. I have got some 3.7 years of experince(C,C++ etc) in some good companies in bangalore. I was expecting some 40k in Uk but when i talk to some consultant ,they generally say that at my experience i will get some 31-32 k. I felt it is very less . HSMP means we are earning more in india so we shall earn more in UK also. They generally say that we do not have experience in Uk so we will be given less. I felt as that is some way people are getting work done from IT people on HSMP with some low salaries. Even one of my friend from my company got job in uk on 45k(5 years exp).
I know u will say that salary depends upon location but still how much shall we expect.

happy

I think 36+9=45 K...Which is pretty good..You cannot expect more for a permi job...

Well, U r a HSMP but they wont bother abt. it..They would like to know if you are suitable for the job or not...And if u dont have UK exp,u wont be paid more..Remember ,there are a lot of local ppl, having a lot of UK experience(obviously), so why shd. they pay you more ??(Unless u have a skill which no one has )..General permi rate is 30-34 K
