The roles you mentioned attract high salaries here in the UK too not the 45k you mentioned. I see average of £70-90k.

Just wanted to point out that most of these countries are very similar. Only US stand out for IT jobs.
You're forgetting the ease of getting that passport in addition, not being hounded with 'chameleonic' rules and being reminded every 7 market days that you're the reason why the Queen died

Regarding the bolded, in which field will you easily get this pay in Australia? If it is IT, then you will need years of experience. I was recently comparing IT salaries in UK vs Australia and I realised IT kind of pay more in the UK. Not so sure of other profession though.

Australia also come with a lot of issues such as high cost of living, expensive houses among others. All countries have their pros and cons.
Cloud Engineers
Solutions Architect

High cost of living can be Chested with high wages and houses are expensive here too (if you convert To AUD)

All countries have pros and cons as you have rightly said smiley

Don't mind them. The IR changes were painful 🥲 and many contractors like freelancers were particularly impacted.

Outside ir35 contracts are far fewer now as well as most fall under the strict IR35 criteria. The govt is even clamping down on the umbrella companies that many contractors are having to manage, closing down any remaining tax loopholes.

HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue & Customs) is cracking down on umbrella companies used by contractors to pay their taxes, with 10,000 tribunal cases pending. The number of individual incidents increased sevenfold in a year from the 1,200 documented at the end of June 2021 to over 10,000 at the end of June 2022.
I'm still a student so it doesn't really apply to me (for now)

They're always clamping down on this or that

Bro, there’s no use talking about this anymore as I’ve noticed two trends with this topic.

1. They’ll say you’re being emotional and derailing the thread, as if another opinion cannot exist outside of their own.
2. When you mention the double taxation, they’ll say if you don’t like it then leave.

Win-win my compatriots said.
Oh how about the UK changes its laws, brings in a hoarde of Nigerians, harvest one kidney each and in return, grant them permanent leave. Win-win my compatriots will say. It's capitalism afterall... supply vs demand. They can go back if they don't want.
Costs £148 per person to renew post study visa for Nigerians in Canadian school . Just dey blow my mind since my friend told me

We will soon be paying about £2500 per person, roughly CAD 4,317.Now imagine a family of 5 applying for this route excluding rent, feeding etc, major cash out for UK gov

If you don’t understand that a simple pdf generation is all part of a good customer experience that some coding and scripting can resolve yet it’s not a feature for a world class UK owned bank then you are not ready for the tech industry you keep shouting about. Agreed, Nigeria has a lot of deep rooted and disgusting issues that cannot be solved in a day but if the simple point I’m trying to make about how the bad shouldn’t be the only narrative then I don’t know what else to say to you. After all, prices have sky rocketed in every country, including the UK, it’s not exclusive to your country.
Natwest has PDF option so I don't even see the correlation

When the bad outweighs the good by over 90%, then what do you expect?

Could my not living up to 2yrs in UK be a factor? you recall they usually ask about how long has one been living in Uk.

Hehe.. he's mouthing now. If na oyibo pikin tell am to jump, he'd say 'master how high'

Looking at himself as a lesser human would only stunt his growth moreso after 10months in. Hopefully, a 22 year old oyibo pikin resets his brain with well garnished insult.
It's why I advocate having the good mix in your circle and see your fellow compatriots rising up the ladder.

Finally, neo-colonialism is not a good thing. Ask most Nigerians where their ancestors are, they'd say in hell... i.e to them, every Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba person e.t.c who existed before Christianity and Islam is burning in hell. Tell me what else is needed to conquer a mans psyche.

Honestly am shocked that a British PM could openly say they will have to fund pay rises from what legal immigrants will pay. Though to some it looks as a subtle way to reduce net migration but I see it as a final punch to the arguments the right wing extremists always have about the influx of immigrants.

Sunak just openly agreed with your conclusion here that this economy will collapse without immigration. Anybody still arguing should just go and watch that Sunak video. The man may have hurt many Brits egos with this.
Where can I find the video pls?

Sunak just admitted that for the govt to take care of it’s people by increasing wages, they need more money from immigrants else they can’t pay grin
