Apply the rationale to those other countries as well, save for the free healthcare. Also their currencies do not carry as much weight as the GBP.

As for the bolded, it’s the way they’ve always been. Hence, my countering the thought process behind it. Besides, I’ve noticed that quite a number of tech companies now pay higher than average. The challengers are challenging the likes of Microsoft with the pay scale. Companies like R3, Binance, Amazon, TikTok and quite a number of unicorns pay above average.
Netflix and Twitter too, I think

As for the currency part, they spend in their currency and not GBP, so I dont think the GBP vs CAD or AUD comparisons hold water

If minimum wage in AU is $20/hr and Im getting $80 - $110/hr, isnt that going to be very decent salary?

Gotta chose one's poison

I have come to realise that It’s due to a number of factors.

1. "Free" Healthcare (Cost of health care in the US is ridiculous)
2. Lower cost of living. Compared to the US, the UK is actually cheaper, especially with basic amenities, food/groceries. (However, inflation is affecting this).
3. UK’s economy is not as vast as that of the US. It’s also really just a small island.
4. The power of GBP compared to other currencies. (Event though this has dwindled over the years).
I mentioned 3 countries in my post though wink

..And you have countered everything yourself cheesy

Taxes are higher in North America and Australia including cost of living. Until in recent times the pounds is still higher in value than the other countries. Considering the economy of scale, folks still argue that the standard of living is still a bit higher than the other nations though many still debate this.

From my own personal research sha there are still some advantages of working in the UK compared to others.
But then, in UK you still have to pay taxes without plenty salary. If the standard of living in other places is high, they have the salary to cushion the effects

I'm on Reddit now and someone said entry level salaries for his role is the same as he was paid 9 years ago despite inflation and all. No be juju be that?
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by hustla(m): 6:40pm On Oct 19, 2022
Sorry to divert from the topic but why are salaries crazy low in the UK compared to other countries?

I was doing some research on Youtube and found out that what people get paid at Microsoft (US/Canada and Australia) in entry level roles is basically same as what a Director/Manager makes in the UK

I am checking Glassdoor now and £25K / £30K roles in UK = $120K in Australia (Tech). I think the same goes for those in healthcare as I have been researching mental health nursing / social work too

Someone mentioned it to me on Twitter about a year ago and I dismissed his claims citing healthcare and GBP being more than the currency of most countries but having checked now, its weird

Just cant seem to wrap my head around the reason

She didn't just up and put that plan forward. She might have been too enthusiastic and vocal about it, especially at a time where there's a general apathy for the government, but she's got backers both within the party and outside who share the same ideology. They're going to come back, just watch out.
For their pocket

But in your original post you stated this below



You claim to have driven manual car in Nigeria but not claiming you are not perfect with manual but drive automatic very well ...which is which naaa? I understand that with manual cars, the gear shaft numbering may differ but not too much difference. Abeg state the true position of things so people can help you before you go enter wahala
Right hand drive manual and Left hand aren't easy to switch for some people to as you think

I am wondering why they're threatening the OP though as driving isn't exactly rocket science and can be learnt within a few weeks

I must tell you that it is quite a complex and technical process that is reserved for trained professionals who have gone through professional certifications such as CIMA, CFA, CISI, etc. and are licensed by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). I have got CIMA and passed CFA Level I but have not yet obtained my FCA license. I hope to obtain the FCA financial adviser license as soon as I receive my PSW permit, hence my refrain from making specific investment recommendation to you at this point.
You have succeeded in telling us about yourself in addition to the certifications you have passed and you provided exactly 0 UK stock buying guidance to the OP while at it

Anytime I hear Australia, the first that comes to my mind is snake grin grin grin. It's a rather irrational phobia, but the fear of snakes have made me pass on Australia as a vacation location so many times.
I have a few friends there, they never mention snakes or whatever. I think its a general misconception for people who dont live there. I used to think same too until i decided to make some research myself and I started to love the country (remains my Number 1 choice)

Its like mentioning Nigeria and boko haram, I never see terrorist before for my life grin

If you can get a PR, Canada is the best bet. Getting sponsorship here is also good but if you dont like the job, you may not want to start the process all over again. But for Canada PR, you can change a job as you like once you have PR. And with UK situation now, things are becoming unstable. I know every economy in the world is suffering right now but I will still say you should try Canada
How come people rarely mention Australia

Can't blame them. Nigerians are not moving in order to study. One student visa is issued, then 6 dependent visas are also issued. Will all the 6 dependents work and contribute to their economy? No.
Then they should not take the money for the 6 dependents then

Last 2 weeks, l was the lead surgeon and my assistant was also Nigerian and the junior doctor was also a Nigerian....the rest of the OT staff were all immigrants from other nationals....

...indeed they really need us more than we need them..... grin grin

Literally all the nurses I came across were immigrants. Even the Doc who attended to us was from Iran

I think in future they will only allow people who are coming to study certain courses to stay for PSW, i don't think business courses will be on that list.
Like I knew they'd later plug holes and was advising people studying these courses to be careful but... They'll turn you to "village people"

Maybe students will marry citizens as Lexus has mentioned. Remains to be seen how this will play out

Hehehe I am not a lawmaker but i dont think it will affect those already here

UK Univerisities are already enjoying the money Intl students bring and how they help fill their classes

I believe they wont stop the dependent thing, but they will put a cap somewhere

That being said, they're torchlighting Nigeria but leaving China and India for some reason smiley

From the article -

The Home Office are considering restricting visa applications only to those who have completed studied in high-demand subject areas, such as engineering, the Times reports.

Slowly, this talk is gaining traction and festering in their minds. I guess they're allowing it to stew, so when they finally make the decision the outrage and backlash wouldn't be so much.
I think what they'll do is to reduce the number of dependents one can bring

OR

Limit post study grants to students who enroll in courses on the SOL and ask schools to make admissions more stringent
