Brighton has long been a popular seaside escape for Londoners over the centuries, and that’s still true to this day. Tourism is a fairly significant part of the local economy as a result, although not as major as you might expect. Brighton has also become well known for its array of unique shops, bars and markets and the LGTB friendly environment, all of which make it an interesting place to live. 

While there are certainly opportunities in the tourism and service sectors here, it’s important to not overlook the fact that there are other sectors with a strong presence in the city. There are often finance-related roles available, due to the fact that American Express has its European Headquarters here. Digital Media also has a large slice of the local economy thanks to games media and other digital tech businesses becoming well established in the area. 

The average salary in Brighton comes in at around £27,000. This is slightly below the national average. Unfortunately, living costs can remain quite high here, especially when it comes to rent and mortgage prices. Software and tech-related roles do tend to take home more than the local average however, which is worth keeping in mind if this is your area of expertise.

The two piers (one of which burnt down many years ago) and famous beach are the main draw for both local residents and visitors to Brighton. The city is well known for its nightlife too and can be quite a popular location for London workers thanks to the short commute time. The general quality of life is good, but living costs aren’t too far off London in many cases, which is worth noting if you’re considering moving here for work.
