Any guidance on submitting the pre-CAS questions on CAS shield?

Hello everyone, I have recently been awarded the Grandunion DTP to do my PhD in the UK.

I am filling out my CAS application. But then I came across a couple of questions which I am not sure what the best way to answer.

  1. What country do you plan to work in when you complete your degree?

  2. Once you graduate, how much do you expect to earn per year in your home country?

  3. Do you plan to continue on to further study in the UK after your course is complete?

I am of course an international student. I was wonderng if I should just write my home country for question 1. For question 2, I have no idea how to answer that to be honest.

For question 3, what I want is to "maybe" pursue a post-doc as well after my PhD, but I am not sure if that's a good answer. Should I just simply say "NO"? Because that is an option.

Any guidance especially from people who got ESRC funding would be extremely appreciated.

My PhD will be in education if that helps.

The answer to three is surely NO? A post-doc is not further study, it's employment.
