Frequently asked questions

Is Scotland a separate job market from England?

Partially — Scottish income tax bands, NHS Scotland, Scottish education standards (SQA, Higher/Advanced Higher), and Scottish professional bodies (Law Society of Scotland, CA) all differ. Most UK-wide employers (banks, retailers, civil service) operate in Scotland with the same job types but under Scottish employment law.

Where are Scotland's main job hubs?

Edinburgh for finance, tech, legal, tourism and government. Glasgow for media, digital, engineering and health. Aberdeen for energy (oil, gas, renewables) and engineering. Dundee for life sciences and gaming (DMA Design legacy). Smaller hubs: Stirling, Inverness, St Andrews.

How does Scottish salary and cost of living compare?

Edinburgh salaries run 5-10% below London (with Scottish income tax premium at higher bands), but cost of living is 25-35% lower. Glasgow and Aberdeen salaries typically 10-15% below London. Net disposable income is generally favourable outside the highest tax bracket.

Does Scotland accept English qualifications?

Yes for most professions — ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPD, RICS, CFA are UK-wide. Scottish-specific: Law Society of Scotland (separate from Solicitors Regulation Authority), PGDE Scotland (vs PGCE England), Scottish Social Services Council for social workers. Medical (GMC) and nursing (NMC) are UK-wide.
