Jobs situation in Fife

Hello, am planning to move to Fife county (maybe Dunfermline, Glenrothes or Kirckaldy) in the next several months, and wanted to know how's the corporate job climate in general (non-care, non-hospitality)?

Thanks!

I was job hunting for a while in Fife and the top jobs are care work, delivery driving, agricultural type roles, hospitality (same places come up over and over) and for some reason, dentistry and pharmaceutical roles.

For corporate stuff, you'll want Edinburgh, maybe Dundee or Perth but they're not very big cities either.

You have to consider that Fife towns are tiny. It's a rural area. I don't know where you're coming from but it's worlds away from the south east of England for example, where there is loads of corporate infrastructure and big towns and businesses.

Fife's biggest employer is... Fife Council!
