"How difficult is it finding FI jobs ATM?"
Pretty difficult and getting harder as more and more people are heading down that route. Having said that if you are prepared to move you will be able to get work.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Plan for the CPL a 5 hour overshoot and the IR a 10 hour overshoot including exam time. I don't imagine the average person would need that but you'd be a fool not to plan on it.

if we are talking about UK. I know 50% fail the IR(total fail, or partial), and have to pay 6 hours retraining plus retest. so count 6000-7000 pounds.
i met guys who had to leave the school for several months cuz they were short of money.
for the cpl vfr, no big deal, 1-2 more flights, and redo the test.
generally i would count 30% over your general training. if you training costs 50'000 pounds by ex., count 65'000 pounds.

It's an averaged worst case scenario that I have tried to give. I have seen people take more and seen most take less. In fact most not needing it at all. But as I said, plan for the worst and hope for the best. Don't let money add to the pressure.
