Answer 1 :
You are very optimistic, that's good as you may not get a job.
Answer 2 :
I live in UK and is a pretty good job I can not tell you how much but it is good enough to buy what you want an need its pretty reasonable!
Answer 3 :
Last year as a Finance Manager with a large insurer I employed a graduate with a 1st class degree in accounting, who like you therefore had some exemptions from professional exams (no one calls a graduate 'part-qualified'). From memory the going rate at that time was about 20-25k in the City (London). I wouldn't say this is necessarily the best you can expect, but the firm were generally known as reasonable payers. Once you qualify... the sky is the limit, your earnings will start to rise very rapidly in line with your ability and experience. You will earn what you deserve.
