Education : £17 - 55

For Engineering (EEE et al)

You should mention that they rarely hire fresh grad from outside the UK, unless the company that hired you in Nigeria has an office in the UK and you are mandated to do a rotation in the UK. They call these sort of jobs graduate jobs. And the pay isn't all that. Mostly ranging £25- 35k.

If I have the skills, I will stay here and be useful to my own country rather than spending my hard-earned nairas to go there and they racially insult me on a daily basis.
