Could you say something more? How UK people look for guys like me, with no college? In Poland almost everybody goes to college.

No formal education is needed. If you have skills and you are able to demonstrate it (usually by passing a technical test), you will get a job.

Thanks for that info.

Can you tell me where is the best to look for a job? It's better to reallocate first or search while i live in poland?

I am targeting at Cardiff

Try CWJobs.co.uk - just register there and you should get plenty of phone calls.

I will check that out. Thanks.

I would relocate first. You will get plenty of phone calls and interview invitations so you really need to be in UK.

I'm from Cardiff, It's a beautiful city and admittedly it does have a few big tech companies to work for. There is a decent polish community there too.

However, Cardiff is not a big big city, so it doesn't have hundreds of tech companies, and you might hit a pay ceiling faster in Cardiff than you would in London, however, the cost of living is also lower in Cardiff than London... Swings and roundabouts. Bristol is an hour or so's commute though with more tech firms.

Nice to hear that.

I would rather want to work in middle company than in big one. I like to know almost everybody in company :)

Experience is what in most cases gets you a job. Try applying directly from Poland rather than relocate first.

Thanks
