Lexusgs430: Being a data analyst doesn't mean he would have access to sensitive data sir. People with sensitive roles are in most cases carefully recruited for those projects. They would even begin setting the rules at the application stage, such as you must be a British citizen, must have been in the UK for 5 years, 3 years, must declare if you've been abroad in the past so so time. |

bigtt76: Yea, that has been the trend on Linkedin. It's full of exaggerated stories from employees, job seekers and recruiters, with everybody trying to outdo others on their "amazing personalities and soft skills". But funny as it might sound, you'd be shocked at how some employers really value such demonstrations. Some prioritise it above technical skills. 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: MOD has different departments that aren't core military or intelligence-based. I doubt if employees in such roles have such restrictions - he may be working in one of such roles. |

genkins: This right here is uncalled for and below the belt. Why should his kids be ashamed of their dad exercising his belief? I don't pay tithe and also believe many religious leaders are manipulative about their preaching on it. But that will never make me see myself as smarter or wiser than those who do. I believe we're all adults here and can criticise, argue and debate on any topic with decorum and civility. 5 Likes |

Guys, please let's endeavour to prioritise our health over packing up those shifts. I still can't help but keep pondering on what oga Lexusgs430 said yesterday about people dropping dead. [/b]How hard is it to work a 60-hour work week?[b] I worked sixty to eighty hour weeks for about 30 years. Then one day, I was in my office preparing for a business trip the next day when I had a stroke. A co-worker called 911, and the EMTs hauled me out โfeet firstโ. As I was being wheeled away, I called out to a coworker, saying to let them know I wouldnโt be traveling the next day. I was in the ICU for two weeks and in the hospital for two months. I went back to work five months after the stroke. My boss had held my job open for me. I returned to work part-time, gradually increasing my hours until I hit a wall between 25 and 30 hours per week. I couldnโt work more, but my job needed more. Not just 40 hours per week and certainly more than 30 hours per week. I ended up returning to disability leave, then they laid me off. [/b]For years Iโd blown off medical appointments because I was too busy at work. I felt fine. The neurologist told me that my stroke was probably caused by untreated high blood pressure. If Iโd gone to my medical appointments, they probably would have diagnosed that and treated it. High blood pressure is called โThe Silent Killerโ for a reason. I was fortunate it didnโt kill me.[b] Now that Iโm no longer working, my blood pressure is almost normal. I take time to exercise daily. I eat proper meals. I get enough sleep. While working crazy long hours, I did none of that. Sadly, I am now coping with a lifelong set of disabilities that make โnormalโ things difficult. source: Quora https://www.quora.com/How-hard-is-it-to-work-a-60-hour-work-week 2 Likes |

Lexusgs430: This is disheartening and scary. I understand you might not want to share their personal experience to respect their family privacy, but are there tips and advice you can give us based on their situations that can help people avoid making up the stats? The pressure on new migrants escalates with each passing day, and learning from elders like you will be really helpful. |

justwise: Now the question is while the husband works full time, is that not supporting the wife too to ensure family doesn't lack financially? You see support and looking after the home is relative. |

@palestianisrae, If there is one advice you must take from all that has been said, it is to first move out. Each additional day you two spend together in this situation is a recipe for disaster. Then the second one is to seek professional help. The marriage could still work if you both are willing and ready to make it work later. But trying to make things work between you two while still cohabiting could escalate things beyond your control. I don't care who is right or wrong, it saddens me when people (men or women) lose their lives or end up in jail trying to safe a marriage despite having several chances to take a break, get healing and stay alive and happy. 3 Likes |

rinzylee: In the US immigration law (and I would like to believe the same or similar applies to the UK), you are only allowed to present/sponsor one spouse for immigration purposes. The one you choose is entirely your choice, as long as there is evidence of a duly constituted marriage or civil partnership. Btw, this your question bros come make me no want trust you again o e be like say you want bring 2 sisters come UK |

FaithfulGod4me: 1. Yes, if you enter the UK with Tier 2 visa, your visa type allows you to study (whether online or offline will depend on the school you are studying from) 2. Again, your study schedule and work schedule will be the determinant 3. Your salary, lifestyle, and possibly the cost of living in your area in the UK will determine 4. Those with kids can help with this |
