Computers and Electronics from the Shadetree Tech

As anyone who has ever watched Channel 4’s comedy series ‘The IT Crowd’ will know; IT is the industry for people really in the know when it comes to computers. What Roy and Moss don’t know about Windows operating systems, or an early ZX Spectrum for that matter, isn’t worth knowing.

Of course, when it comes to IT jobs, as Roy and Moss also know, London is the city to be in. London is both the capital of the UK, and the financial capital of the country. There are more businesses in London looking for IT professionals than anywhere else in the UK, and as such the salaries an IT professional can command in London tend to be far more than in any other UK city as well.

Naturally, with salaries being much higher than in other UK cities, competition for IT jobs in London is much fiercer – with many candidates going for jobs finding themselves up against other candidates who have years of experience. This shouldn’t put anyone off applying for a job in IT in London however, as there are so many opportunities for London jobs that someone with the right qualifications, skills and application will assuredly find what they are looking for, for the salary that they want.

Perhaps the real beauty of looking for IT jobs in London is in the range of different companies, and sectors, in which you could find yourself working. IT professionals are required by businesses to work in industries such as the financial sector, the public sector, in private companies or even in schools and universities. If IT is your chosen field of expertise, and you’re looking for a position (and a salary) to suit your skill level, London should be your first point of call.
