Only internationals graduating from UK universities qualify for a work visa with a £30k job. There is a real shortage of software engineers. The minimum pay for a non-EU software engineer coming into the UK was as high as £50k last year in April. It's only got lowered to £30k last month because of Brexit.

It's the EU workers who are willing to work for £30k because non-EUs need to earn more than £35k after 5 years to apply for settlement in the UK.
