Getting a job in Belfast — what actually works
Belfast punches above its weight in tech and finance. The city hosts major operations for Citi, PwC, Deloitte, and Allstate, plus homegrown success stories like Kainos. Salaries are lower than London on paper, but the cost of living means your money goes much further — average rent is less than half of London's.
The aerospace cluster is world-class. Spirit AeroSystems and Collins Aerospace anchor a sector that employs thousands. Engineering and manufacturing roles are well-paid and stable, with apprenticeships and graduate schemes available year-round.
Volume still matters. Popular roles at big employers can attract 100–300 applications. Autoply applies overnight to match that volume without the manual work, reaching the hiring manager directly with a tailored CV for each role.
Belfast vs Dublin — which is better for your career?
Dublin offers higher headline salaries but Belfast's cost of living is significantly lower. Many tech companies now have offices in both cities. Belfast also benefits from being part of the UK job market with access to NHS healthcare and UK pension schemes. For early-career professionals, Belfast offers strong career progression without the Dublin rent premium.
