High end of each the band is more often paid down south in england (where life is almost as expensive as in ireland), low end more often paid in northern england and scotland.
I’d steer clear of the recruiters, they’ll do you over given any chance at all. A handier site is probably http://www.thegamesindustry.net/. Where jobs are listed by recruiters, take the job listings to google so you can apply directly to the company instead of going through recruiters.
