This is the most challenging option, above all because of immigration restrictions.

In 2011, the UK cancelled its Tier 1 visa programme, which had previously enabled professionals attaining a minimum eligible score to come to work and in the country without a specific job offer.

If you’re determined to persist in applying internationally, your best bet will be to approach hiring managers directly. Ask friends and contacts at Russian and international banks about vacancies. Try to find a good recruiter (by word-of-mouth or online) who will “sell” you. Yegor Kraev a Director of Forex Trading at Deutsche Bank suggests that you can get yourself noticed by making intelligent contributions to professional forums.

Tip:

There is no structured recruiting process for Russian-language candidates, and hence no cookie-cutter recommendation for success. The general rule is to make yourself known as a prominent specialist to a maximum number of people. Don’t waste money sending thousands of CVs. The best way of finding work abroad is to make yourself the one being sought instead of being the seeker.
