For the lifetime ISA where I get £1k per annum if I save the max of £4k per annum in the account. For the second year, am I to put in another £4k to get the second year's £1k or the first year's £4k will give me the second year's £1k?

I.e year 1: I put £4k, get £1k. Total = £5k.
Year 2: I put in another £4k, get 1k. Total = £10k

Or

Year 1: I put in £4k, get £1k. Total = £5k.
Year 2: do nothing, get £1k at the end. Total = £6k?

Please i am looking for a referal into consulting. I was told referaal is the surest way. Any type of consulting; mangement, fiancial, audit etc.

You might need to work a bit more on your offline networking. Referrals from random beings on the internet who do not know you in real life, irrespective of the website/platform, mightn't be easy to come by.

Consulting is wide. Even within mgt consulting, it's still wide. You may have to give pointers.
More so, comes at different levels: entry, associate, consultant, Snr consultant/supervisor, asst mgr / principal consultant, mgr, ... ...
Yet, there're vertical sectors!

In any case you may want to leverage LinkedIn.

It’s so interesting that I recently found out that these companies pay their staff a referral bonus if a candidate gets hired. So If they are confident in your profile, they would actually refer you even if you are a stranger. The wonders of social networking.

That's correct. Referral bonus has been the norm; especially the (not so anymore) Big 4 acctg/audit firms, the likes of your mgt consulting firms, some multinationals, some banks and few others. At times, the (referral bonus) tap is closed! At times,payout is when the recruited spend 3 or 6 mths or 1yr. At times, it upfront on appointed (aka onboarding).
I've worked briefly with a big 4 some years back, hence I know first hand. Nonetheless, staff are warned not to refer 'just random fella'. Whether that is followed, is another discuss!!!

if you have a friend or know anyone working with any of the big four (pwc especially), speak to them. They can refer you. I can but it's difficult dropping personal contacts on a public forum like this.

Quite a few companies condition their referral bonuses on the new hire lasting a specific period, most often the standard 6 month probationary period.

Hi people, I've got a question that has always been at the back of my mind. Asking oyinbo might be a bit awkward but I'm sure naija should understand.
Why are there so many kids in the UK with autism or on the autistic spectrum? It almost seems as though the Brits consider it a badge of honor saying their kids are on the spectrum or to use it to claim disability.

I've seen a lot of kids who the parents claim are on the spectrum and honestly, they seem cognitively okay, and if it were naija some proper brain resetting beating every once in a while will likely realign the child, but the parents here just seem to use "on the spectrum" as a pass to allow the kids become uncontrollable and something a complete nuisance.

Is there some kind of inherited genetic predisposition for brits to be on the spectrum or is that just some quasi-cultural thing that has become part of the medical norm for doctors to just label the kids as on the spectrum?

##Or is my perception on the matter just skewed because Nigeria doesn't do enough testing to determine if kids are on the autistic spectrum or have cognitive disabilities and just assume the child is a "dullard"?

In addition to what has been said already, giving birth in Nigeria is already a case of natural selection. Nigeria has one of the highest birth mortality rates in the entire world. Most of the kids that are likely to develop a form of disability rarely even make it out of the womb alive to start with. Then you have the culture of shame that makes people hide away these kinds of kids.

Merge these two factors together and you end up in a situation like this, with a false sense of “healthier” kids.

UK residents, I hope you're all aware your energy bills (gas & electricity)...... Would be going up by 85% in sept/oct.........

Your energy bills are going up to £4500.00 per annum.......

What are your coping mechanisms, assuming the government does nothing in way of support........ wink

Most of the energy probably goes to heating so generate more internal heat using aboniki ... wink

Please if you’ve had a long layover in Doha airport, is there any where one can sleep without payment. I have a 10 hour layover and I’m thinking about where I’d sleep, please hotels are not an option because of cost.
you have to pay. Cheapest option is the Al maha lounge which is 45 pounds before trip day and allows maximum 6 hours stay. You’ll need a dom card to do this. If you are using a 3rd party’s card then u might need to send their id and statement for cc verification.
