Hello Please I need directions/pointers with recruiters/good job boards. Was inspired by a comment here on someone that got a job of 60k above. I am a recent graduate of biotechnology in Scotland. Been a tough time looking for stem jobs. Would appreciate any help. Thanks 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: Mehn!!!! We need to watch our health and try to be financially literate so we don't need to depend on the govt and care when we get older. I'm guessing a lot of us here are 'youngish' and we should start planning for retirement not just getting the high paying jobs but how to keep as much of our money as we can and make more. I'm thinking a life in the UK- money thread will be good 3 Likes |

I know this is my shade yet again you miss the point No one is attacking you ... no one is fighting for any care brigade... We can plan and plan.. life has its own plans and we must adapt and evolve our plans I don't do care, never done care but will never be insensitive to another career... or someone's career journey Life is a marathon, not a sprint.. by God's grace, hardwork & luck, we will get to our milestones Just be more sensitive.... hustla: 10 Likes |

hustla: Sinister in what way? Strict perhaps, but also justifiable unless you expect the government to continue to turn a blind eye to unsustainable levels of migration coupled with rampant immigration abuse in certain sectors. Sinister is what I would call the African and Asian care operators/agencies/brokers who were charging up to £15,000 for a sponsorship certificate that they obtained for less than £300 from the government. Bringing thousands in and having no work to give them (despite so called shortages in the care sector). Sinister are the agents who were attaching fake spouses onto their clients' applications without their knowledge. (Yes I've heard of instances where this has happened), and many other examples. I'm not sure why people are not directing their frustration towards these individuals. The government isn't boxing anyone into care, in fact the recent policies are designed to restrict the number of immigrants going into care. The landscape will settle for sure, but gone are the days of "buy 1 cos, get 2 free". 13 Likes |

hustla: Ultimately, macroeconomics policies play a much more significant role in attainment than individual grit e.t.c. Finally, those who remain would still become Brits and have all the welfare options available. They also have their mental health to look after, can go on professional longterm sick and with little wealth might ultimately need to depend on the state in old age. Wouldn't surprise me the next move would be to increase ILR time to 10 years - milk the cow. More folks paying visa fees e.t.c So far, we've not seen any forward planning from the government. Just knee-jerk reactions when quarterly migration data is released. Only severe shortages e.g HGV drivers or systemic issues e.g with universities would force their hand. Right now, focus is the lost election. 1 Like |

deept: True... Given the associated cost and restrictions of being an immigrant, it would be difficult for many to fully benefit from tools like ISAs and SIPPs to build long-term wealth. Moreso as investments do the best when started early and given time to compound. But OTOH, over time, many immigrant communities have been able to do so much with so little. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jedisco: Well, focus is truly the elections.. I think they'll still win anyways. I'm also do think they'll likely increase the years required to get ILR (which will backfire). Remains to be seen if the policies they have changed Will be reverted but i doubt though given that the public will see them as unreliable and not to be trusted Time will tell |

Zahra29: Again, I do not care about what they do to the care sector, COS sellers and fake dependents (sellers and fake ones will be found out), I am concerned about the long term policy effects on would be settlers. And No, the policies arent designed to reduce those heading to care depending on how you look at it, it's designed to edge people in care towards filling holes in the NHS. Ask yourself why the UK is the only ome that has these policies in place. Policies like increasing fees to £3K for apps for recent graduates after paying £15K is sinister and wicked. Openly bashing the student populace and treating them like scavengers and scroungers for applause from your citizens is sinister. Increasing rates to £38K when the average salary for even citizens isnt up to that is sinister and wicked. Once more, the UK is the only country among the developed ones that does this.

Zahra29: The government here is not worried about ending abuse but rather restricting who perpetrates the abuse to themselves and also appearing tough on immigration as a last ditch attempt at the next election. Reports of rampant abuse have been in the media for years yet they looked on until numbers balooned. Why was the salary treshold for care workers retained at an abysmal 20k when the wider treshold was increased? Why have they made carers the only immigrant group who would be unable to bring family over hence restricting their right to family life? All this ensures the government pays the least for social care by ensuring a streamlined supply of poorly paid care workers. This still does nothing to adress the abuse everyday care workers face- something that'd be sorted by higher pay Ultimately, even the COS for even the new roles would still be sold on the black market. 1 Like |

missjekyll: Hehe... The UK utopia is to have 200k masters students on an mill handing them 20k and being returned after 2 years to make room for a new set. Aside the English speaking benefits it gives the Chinese (a dwindling number), a UK masters to most other cohorts is only valued on the access to immigration it gives. They've played this game before and it backfired. They're now looking to see how much they can squeeze while retaining numbers. Good thing masters students are not waiting to be shafted over and are already voting with their legs. 7 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: Money and time was spent building this institutions...... If you want to benefit from the system, you must pay2play..... Let's interpolate this situation...... We should blame our political class, for the mess they have caused, leading to this massive migration and alternative seeking syndrome....... When labour is not rewarded, labour would shift to alternative places....... Remember, the UK did not force anyone to migrate.... We decided to pay the price to play......😁 I remember attending college, paying only £20.... Whilst my Chinese colleagues paid over £1500......😂 They happily paid the £1500, because loads of them everywhere........🤔😁 3 Likes 1 Share |

All they need do is latch on to a case of extremist violence, ramp up anti-muslim rhetoric and bring it as the solution. They'd say it'd encourage integration and ensure only those who have imbibed 'British values' are allowed to stay. Folks would cheer afterall they made their decision while feeding on salary increase funded by immigration fees. 2 Likes |

Lexusgs430: In all your answers you have not answered why UK is the only country that does this... Why they continue to constantly denigrate the student population to their citizens The same people take in asylum seekers in but don't make the same sentiments in the media... All you have said is "chest the insults, na you come here, Them no force you". Lexus, if you pay someone £15K and na insults them dey insult you for every month for 2 years, you go happy? After 2 years, you pay £3K despite not being balanced yet, they respond to you with dirty slap and insults, you go happy? Let's call a spade a spade abeg 6 Likes |

Who is calling for sharia in the UK? Where? Did i miss that article? So far as we know ,Everyone is welcome to the UK so long as you meet the criteria. We aim to keep it that way no matter what the extremists on both sides think. Addendum: in 2018 a committee was set up to investigate the " sharia courts", they found that they weren't courts at all, they were largely used by women almost exclusively to secure a religious divorce. Men have the option of talaq , this is not an option that is open to women. These councils evolved to solve that problem. They needed regulation because a few of them were referring to themselves as judges when they were not but that was it. This is why I like this country. Identify an evolving issue, investigate it and nip it in the bud. hustla: 1 Like |

The Imam was clearly bonkers and extremist . The teacher shouldn't have used a picture of Mohammed but that doesn't excuse the threats to life he received from extremists. I 100% agree with his decision to discuss the charlie hebdo incident with his class . This was the finding of the independent review into that incident. 1 extremist does not speak for everyone. We ve got millions of moslems in this country who are not extremists. hustla: 2 Likes |

Zahra29: No need going adhominem. This is hardly about my take on the care sector which has always been consistent. British taxes should pay for British care. If we need to rely on external workforce, they should be appreciated. Rather than use the care route as another form of modern slavery, it should be scrapped. If that means income tax goes up 75% or council taxes has to increase by 10% annually to pay for the ever balooning adult social care, so be it. The new rules only instutionalise that exploitation. For decades the sector has been supported by migrant labour. It has only just come to the fore thanks to Brexit. Finally, after 5 years of hard work on minimum wage with no family, they'd still become Brits and see that they've contributed more to the economy in 5 yrs than some of the folks they were waiting on did. 1 Like |

jedisco: The slavery you speak of largely came from Nigerian care agencies who scammed and exploited many of their own. Otherwise no one is forcing immigrants to work in the care route. It's well known that it's a hard job for not much pay, so any immigrant who chooses to go into that field must have their reasons why. Same way the new rules that exclude family members were published well in advance so it's a conscious choice for anyone who still chooses to proceed. 6 Likes |
