Salaries in Belfast, Leeds, Edinburgh etc

Hello!

I got some offers from banks for Belfast, Leeds, Edinburgh.

The salary is 25k. Is this a serious salary? I researched that it would cost me 6k less from living in London than living in these places. The similar jobs in London pay 35k, which is 4k more considering the living cost differences.

What is your opinion?

One big difference is whether you need a car to (reasonably) get to work. All all the jobs in City Centres? Also what your lifestyle is - do you want a golf club membership or your own flat? These are much more expensive in London.

My guess is that for a new graduate type lifestyle in shared housing London does not cost £6k per year more - maybe if you say its £4k take home difference that would be a realistic guess - but only if you don't have or need a car.

I think it's absolutely clear that in London you never need car and anywhere else you always need a car.

Two chemical companies in deadend places like Teesidee pay grads 35k. Are they idiots?
