Fullstack Dev Bootcamp Instructor salaries in United Kingdom

I have been an instructor on the postsecondary level for more than a decade, but I am not an academic. I come out of Work World and bring a wealth of career experience in my field IRL. I have what has been termed a "portfolio master's," with in-depth knowledge gained over that full career. I do not have an academic master's degree. Two universities and two community colleges have hired me without the advanced degree, but I am stymied now in my job search. How do I meet this challenge?

Do you think it’s more acceptable to log on later and log off later or log on earlier and log off earlier? I typically like to work earlier so I can log off around four, but I can’t help but feel like this is being perceived as me not working my full hours.

Auckland-based, 24, Master's in CS (Nov 2025), job hunting since March 2026. Three interviews so far, came closest on a QA role but missed the CCAT cutoff by 6 points. Almost a year of pro experience as a Junior Sysadmin but still struggling to land Graduate or Junior tech roles. Does per-role tailoring actually move the needle, or is one strong general CV enough? Open to any advice or leads!
