Thanks decided to do this

Ticha:
1

Take the day job. Put her in childcare especially as childcare won't take all your income. She gets to socialise with other children (and build immunity by acquiring every passing cold), you both also get to know other parents and people in the area which can come in handy in building a support network too.

3 kids bro, you're a strong man ooo. This 1 alone is stress for me .. thanks for your advice, picked up a few lessons from you

MichaelUde:
I like where the HRGuy said "in my admittedly biased" opinion. That's because there is no right or recommended answer to your request for advice, all you're going to get are opinions.

I have 3 children, and I also looked after my children when we first arrived and I hadn't gotten a day job. No biggie, I still do it.
However, if I have one child like you do, I will put her in [affordable] daycare right away and take any day job that pays enough to cover the costs and leave me with something. I did not enjoy sitting at home during the winter months with 3 children, separating fights and getting homework done, only coming out in the evening when it was already dark to march off to a night job which I did not enjoy. I was unable to get anything much done in the day time or even get to know the new city I was living in, because marching 3 children around to the city to explore was definitely not something I had much energy for.

Again, our Nigerian women dey try in many ways, and I'm no sexist bigot, but do not leave your madam as the sole reasonable earner for any length of time.

They will soon come for my head, so make I tune out first.

Thanks for this .. decided it will be the the childcare route

TheGuyFromHR:
If you get the job, 18k p.a. will provide you with a net salary of about 1,230 after tax.
Your childcare bill at 250 p.w will come out to about 1,000 give or take, less any extras to be paid. You and your wife can afford that on your joint pay.

My admittedly biased opinion (I'm very unsentimental when it comes to childcare, all my children went to 8 - 6 p.m. daycare from the age of 3 months and I never bothered to look into the possibilities of getting a relation/househelp to look after them at home) is take the job if you get it, and you guys pay for the childcare. Then you continue looking for a job as usual. In my experience, it's usually easier to get considered for a job when you already have one and are looking to move. You also kickstart your career sooner (and additionally start racking up time to count towards the so-called UK experience stuff). Nothing also stops you from pulling a nightshift somewhere (say 6 - 10 p.m.) after your madam returns from work.

The ultimate would be a WFH job for you so you can earn and save on childcare at the same time, but while looking for that, take the opportunity to put some formal work experience under your belt.

Secondly, depending on you (and what you were doing back in Nigeria), sitting indoors with a 2 year old all day in a small flat might not be the easiest of things to do.

Hello guys landed Southampton less than 2 weeks ago on a dependant visa,(wife in healthcare). Already applying for jobs and got a two interviews already at NHS but the salary is a little above 18k and its 8-4pm..Issue is we have a 2yr old girl. My aunt is suggesting I start with a night picker and packer hustle so I have time for my daughter during the day.

NB
Gone to find out cost of daycare 7am -6pm £250

Big question is should I keep applying for daytime office job and keep my daughter in daycare or start off with picker and packer jobs till we are fully settled.
My wife work timetable has no nights till March + I'm a certified data analyst with few months experience back in 9ja..

Looking forward to your advise .. thanks alot

Blessing for this bro

Great stuff. Check YouTube

https://youtube.com/c/SheldonEvansx

And

https://youtube.com/c/JRNYCrypto

Go to the pages of these two guys. Watch their intro to crypto videos. Then in order not to spoil this tread, you can create one crypto tread that we will all contribute, then I can tell you how I do my daily trading and the exchanges I use for trading as well.

NB: those YouTube links are just to learn the basics and have proper idea, you don’t have to buy the coins they talk about as some are paid sponsorship by some token owners. But they both have very good knowledge and I have found both of them to be good at teaching what they know.

My trading pattern is what I tried myself and it worked for me, I will tell you how I do it and you can try it too, I believe it will work too and if doesn’t work for you, you will tweak it a little to fit you like we all do.

Landing in southampton next week, thanks for this info and update

Chreze:
You just reminded me of when I came to this place, so make I tell you more.

Getting the Airbnb for 1month might be a good option. When you get to the house here’s what to do and what I consider the order.

1. On the day or night of your arrival. Go to lebara site and order for a SIM card. It’s free. (http://lebara.co.uk/). And they will have it delivered to your apartment in about 48hrs. When buying the SIM card, go for the option of getting an unlimited calling and texting plan with data. The minimum is £5. That unlimited call will help you cos you will spend lots of time trying to understand what an average scots-man has said. The Accent different from the UK accent you think you know.

2. Once you get your sim, open a revolut or Monzo account immediately. Revolut will give you a virtual card. This virtual card you can use to pay for things while you wait for the physical card. Monzo don’t give virtual card but will send a physical card to your apartment in the shortest time.

3. With your SIM card you register for the letting sites and start the proper house search where you can call the landlord. Try to set up viewings for the day your isolation ends. So that you can get on the market quickly.

4. On the day of your stepping out. You can get a one week bus pass. With this bus pass you can go round to check houses with unlimited bus rides. This will help you when you miss you bus stop or your way. You can get the first bus app downloaded, then buy the one week ticket and scan with your phone. The ticket cost £17 for adult and £15 for students. Trust me this ticket will help you as moving with bus is the best option in Glasgow.

5. You can start to perfect your google usage. Especially the map. It’s a safer out here cos it works. One time in naij, google took me and my bro thru a one way street. Na God save us that day we for pay lastma.

The rest I think you will learn by experience and add to your own baking process.

Blessings
