Lefty500:
There is something called skilled worker visa going rate.

First you need to know what's the occupation code for your targeted job, then go to UK dot gov to check the standard going rate, that is the minimum you must earn to be eligible for sponsorship in the role.

A role might be one that can offer sponsorship but if the offered salary is lower than the standard going rate, then it becomes ineligible for sponsorship. Different role with different standard going rate.

There's a lower going rate for some certain role, also based on the date the COS was issued

For example Data analyst has occupation code of 3544, with standard going rate of £33,200/y and £28,600 for lower going rate. So you must earn equal or above £33,200 to be eligible for sponsorship, but if you got the COS before 4th April 2024,then you go with the lower going rate.

COS gotten before 4th April 2024 => lower going rate
After 4th April 2024 => standard going rate.

Thank you for this explaination. So, if someone lands a 33,200 for a DA role within NHS. Will there be able to bring their dependents into the country?

Ticha:
There are no buzzwords per se. Its how you structure your responses to show you are utilising the skills you say you have.
For example, STAR is an excellent way to show how you meet the behaviours. I always advise going a bit further and make it STARR (ie add what you would do differently nezt time in the same situation or your specific learnings from that situation) which then ties into continuous improvement
Send me an email and I'll send you some examples of behaviour responses I've used amd now also use for L and D development sessions at work

Please I am interested in this too. Can I send a Mail too🙏🏼.

Here's a list to use for guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-going-rates-for-eligible-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-going-rates-for-eligible-occupation-codes

It's true that new entrants are usually placed on the starting point of bands/grades in the NHS/university systems. However, it is possible to get higher spine points that what is offered, so you can always negotiate if you feel you have some bargaining power in terms of skills/experience to do so.

Thank you all for your reply. I can't believe I have limited myself to band 7 roles😞.

Hello guys,

Please I recently started shooting at NHS from Nigeria. But I see some band 6 role with salary between 35-42k. Knowing the recent migration rule of 37,800. My friend said for new entrant like me I will be placed on the lower band and this does not qualify to get COS. I am in the tech space with over 3 years experience.

Please is this true?. Should I just focus on Band 7 roles or higher paying role whose minimum band qualify for the new rule.

Mykelking007:
How was it?

I didn’t attend. Its all these fake job ads

Aphrodite007:
Very good advice. It’s literally what I tell my mentees. I tell them to Look at a job spec of their dream job and build themselves to the point that they can tick all of them off.

I’m also happy that you pointed out that UK doesn’t care about degrees.

If I could advise this person, it will be that they should change that course to computing because data is too narrow. Computing gives the opportunity to be anything, provided they certify! The world changes every day, the last thing anyone wants is to be stuck in Data when a new thing comes and replaces Data.

Hebraeem, please post this in the student section, if you’re from there. So students stop limiting themselves.

@LagosismyHome

Clefayomide:
No check and balances.
Imagine a master's student telling me after the scene that " na money this man dey find just settle the man bro, some of your guys don settle am, you sef do normal"
Such an ewww statement. After today's ordeal, I said to myself it's either I do my Masters outside this country or I don't even do it at all. I so much hate it here I SWEAR

You see that bolded, we share the same sentiments. In my case, we can’t even breath around the man. We only laugh when he laughed and cough when he coughed and that calling part, guy you deserve an AWARD oo. Don’t even lemme give you gist of how he treated his masters students. That was one the reason I can’t and will never have get a Masters Degree here!.

Thank you very much. God bless you

I thought as much

AnalysisGuru:
Just to encourage you guys. I have moved from my former job to two other jobs since September 2020. I invested lockdown period in diving deeply in Data Science. I knew Excel before but i went further in SQL, understanding database normalization, stored procedures, joins and every other stuff. Then i also went further into Algorithms, understanding clustering, logistic regression, and a whole lot. I mixed this with some understanding of Javascript frameworks a bit too. I wanted myself to be too hot for just a firm. I capped with learning about Airflow too for data pipelines and automation. Finally, with my background in Economics, I made sure to understand business concepts and understanding what happens in the economy too. My initial job was 130k gross, 2nd job I got was 160k gross, i resigned after a month for this one I am currently in now. Data is the new oil peeps. Companies are on the look out for sharp data guys that can speak insights with numbers. Videos are nice but get your hands dirty with datasets and practicing. Real world application is the main thing not just understanding the concept.

Lastly, someone said, what I cannot create, I don't understand. This should be your goal. By next year i can decide to start sending my CVs out again if this firm doesn't impress and challenge me further.... Lolz.
I have not arrived too. Its a journey, not a destination.

Pls sir, can I send a pm. I have also been studying and applying for jobs and there’s nothing yet. So morale is a lil bit low too.
I will be glad if you can mentor and nudge me in the right direction

Imakeherdrip:

I’m in similar situation right now. Got an offer from a University in the US with full tuition waiver and monthly stipends. A statement of account of approximately 2.4m (Less than $7k) is requested as proof to support my living expenses; I’ve asked families to help with their statement of account to that effect but they seem to take the request for granted. Dem just Dey play me like soccer.

I have partially resign to faith but somehow I’m still hopeful. This Pandemic has halted the visa processing so, I’m on the lookout. Hopefully this opportunity won’t elude me sha.

Statement of account come turn war! Chai! Make God no shame person this year

Na Ibadan I Dey too (Using your testimony as a point of motivation )

Hello sir, can I send a pm?.

ADEBAZ95:
Nice thread Op.
Op kindly post how many of u were in class when you moved 200,300,400level.
Foreigner reading this will belief that every Nigeria university has such number of student in a class.

I am a veterinary student in Federal University. We started with 39students when I was in 200l. We are done with 400l now and we r 30 students.

There’s no need to mince words, the 2000 to 1 lecture is real, I finished from a federal School too
100 level- it’s 1500- 2000 and it was only in my 500 level it reduces to 300+

I understand some exceptions with some school/courses/fields/like Med, Engineering etc. How we take know know book for this country Na only God o. cause if we were to compare some learning facilities and conditions. All izz well

I am weird shaa.

Is it only me that follows no celebrity?

Like how does following Kim Kardashian affect my life even when she follows back?

Or following Davido or Tiwa?


I hate following the crowd. Some girls even beg
and cry to be followed by celebs. Mtchew..

Nawao.


Can someone give me a good reason why I should follow celebs?

I thought I was the only one, I’m in my prime, socially active online, I’m a music freak, but still I don’t know how to follow or be crazy over them.

Thanks for sharing

I found this post last night and I can’t beil I read it from 0-51 in a day..thanks so much for the enlightenment and insight @macky..
