A city that needs little introduction, Cambridge has been a global centre for education for hundreds of years. The presence of the famous University isn’t all the city has to offer if you’re looking for work of course, although it is a great location if you’re interested in scientific research, higher education, or teaching roles. The local economy is also a hub for software development and digital tech, which means there are often good opportunities in the technology, creative, and tourism sectors here too.

Pros

• A huge amount of local culture and history to discover, ranging from museums to music festivals
• Excellent location for careers in tech, software, science, education, and pharmaceuticals.
• The verage salary is around £32k per year.
• Established local employers include the University of Cambridge and AstraZeneca. 
• Cheaper living costs in general compared to London, especially in terms of rent and mortgage prices. 
• A large variety of sporting facilities, events, and entertainment.

Cons

• The local economy is mainly focused on tech and science, so not ideal if you’re looking for other work.
• Most of the main employers are located outside of the city itself, which could be inconvenient if you don’t drive.
• Some day to day goods, including groceries, tend to be more expensive here, even compared to London in some cases.
