That’s a pretty good salary for the uk and I know people in advertising who have families and earn less than that. Just bare in mind that you need to change your lifestyle a bit to match how people live in the uk. Like spending more money on pints and less on the latest electronics, for example.

The average UK salary is about 30,000 pounds. The average for total london is about 50,000 and inner London 60,000. So you can do it but you will be sharing an apartment , budgeting and not saving

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
