as uk no wan give people kpali. They should not go where kpali dey I have friends in audit firm who went to uk on work visa. They have to do that stressfull job for 5 years in kpmg and the likes and cant change jobs from audit. But Canada dey give citizenship after 3 years plus freedom to enter non audit industries lol. Ogun punish priti patel, gordon brown, theresa may and others wey don show boys pepper now and in the past lol

Auditing in any big 4 in any part of the world is quite stressful. It's not limited to UK alone. That said, amongst the big 4 and when compared with other consultancies like mckinsey, KPMG is a stressful place to work - again, they've gained this reputation globally.

That said, UK tier 2 skilled visa does NOT stop anyone from changing roles (audit to non audit) or from changing employers.

99% of Nigerians leaving UK for Canada have not acquired their citizenship, have no clear pathway to citizenship or they are impatient to wait the average 6 years it takes to become a naturalised UK citizen.

Thank you icon8 for your input, I know mostly the care work visa is 3 years or 5 years and you need to work for that employer, switching role or job means the 5 years route will reset.
The question is, would corporate employer be willing to employ with Care visa?
How would I be able to convince employer that I am still relevant in my profession with care job? Those are my thinking really.

This is a big fat bloody lie @ bolded.

Believe those youtube idiots peddling falsehood at your own peril.

Switching tier 2 sponsors can never and will never reset the 5 year route to ILR

Moving from one tier to another eg. Moving from tier 2 to tier 5 is what resets the route to ILR

grandma123:
Hello my people, please I need your input on my situation.

I have completed my Master and need to move forward in the UK, I have 2 options to choose from which is dicey and I am in a serious Dilemma now. I am in my mid 40s and a mother, a qualified Chartered Accountant (over 15 years post qualification experience) back home and presently working on becoming a member of ICAEW here in the UK. I have been applying for professional roles on different job sites for a while now to no avail. Though I do get calls from recruiters concerning roles but sometimes because of the student visa status they may not proceed and sometimes you would not here back from them.

The two options I have to choose from are:

1, To apply for a PSW and continue my job search
2, The care work I do (to pay bills and make ends meet, not actually what I want) is ready to sponsor me (at no cost except UK gov application fee) but honestly the care job is not meant for me as I get irritated, tired of the job and I know I deserve more and can do better for myself.

I am at crossed road as I would not want to get PSW and still continue with the care job.
Now, considering the cost, definitely option 2 is cheaper for my family but I am not happy with the job.
I don't mind the longer route of PSW as long as I am legal in the country but the assurance of getting my dream role/job is what I don't know.
The care is ready to write whatever role I want on my application and allow me to take any other job or role once I do her 37.5 hrs (She gave me option of weekend and may be 1 day during the week to work for her but I don't want to be tied down to care job for 3 years doing what I am not happy with.

The question is, would any corporate employer employ me with the care visa if I opt for it?
What can I do differently to ace my employment in the country?

I have done different trainings and have in house training certificates from big firms in Nigeria on Project Management, Change Management, Lean etc. What certification can I do in Project management in the UK?

Please kindly advice?
No insult please

Why do you think you will be tied down to the care job for 3 years ?

Don't tell me you believe the nonsense and lies on YouTube and co where they claim you can't swap jobs or sponsors whilst on tier 2 for the duration of your visa ?

I'll suggest you go with the care job whilst aggressively applying for professional jobs in your field. What people don't know that its much easier to switch tier 2 jobs/sponsors than move from psw to tier 2.

Most employers with sponsorship license tend to favour those already on sponsorship than those on tier 4 or psw.

Which other profession can a 20+, 30+ age groups earn £400/£500 pounds daily? Pls Educate me.

Internal audit, risk, compliance, content researcher/designer, HR (especially those experienced in compensation and benefits not just for UK workforce but other jurisdictions), etc

wonlasewonimi:


They are not permanent roles, who needs a permanent role you can be surplus to requirement anytime. I have been in my role for about 3 years now, I came in on a 3 month contract.

The thing is, these organisations prefer to hire contractors cos they dont call in sick, go on holidays and can hit the ground running. Moreso, they are not entitled to any benefit and they can be rolled out at a few weeks notice. Cunny man find am, cunny man thief am solution.

Exactly. Not forgetting their yeye monthly/quarterly/yearly appraisals, 121s and other nonsense.

AirBay:

IT ppl

Another misconception.

Its not just people in IT earning such income.

tshoboy:

My own is where are you people making £300 or £700 daily.

Na for this UK o

iboboyswag:


True true... To each his own.

But hope you know that at 700, you hit a threshold where your earnings are not significantly different from those earning 350?

Except of course you do the "Nigerian thing". Pun intended please, before person go use langa langa comot my head.

Big fat lie @ bolded.

You call a difference of over £40k in net income not "significantly different"?

Hi everyone

After a successful 6 months standard visitor visa application, can the individual subsequently apply for 5 years renewal or must it be 2 years?

Thanks

Not correct.

I repeat, Jimoh Ibrahim was awarded a Business Doctorate by Cambridge University's Judge Business School.

It is not a Cambridge MBA.
It is not a PhD awarded by CJBS (and CJBS does not have a DBA programme).
They are not the same thing.

The man has tarnished whatever lustre his degree may have had with his crass misrepresentation of the facts. He thought people wouldn't fact check.

Jimoh Ibrahim and lies/corporate packaging are 5 and 6.

Check his history with global fleet and NICON.

He's a well known corporate fraud.

WatchYourSix:


Was there an agreement between osimhen that the person he present as agent must collect a particular percentage....

Footballers do it....no big deal

Yea, but taking that money back from the person he presented as his agent is fraud.

greggng:
If I were osimen I will jejely pay them off the debt to avoid getting punished by fifa or the organisation in charge of football . He won't find it funny if this matter get to their hearing

This is a clear case of fraud. Victor will be in trouble if FIFA gets involved.

babzo:


My guy I was following the case before today, before the judgement given, before most Nigerians knew.

When you are doing business with a good company made of good people for years that benefits you and they suddenly shut down, one asks questions.

You are talking nonsense.

Go back and read the full story.

Those guys did not have the license to operate a money transmission/remittance business.

Hkana:
Hello everyone.
Does anyone know how life is in Dunfermline? I got a job there and I'm planning on relocation

You will like it there. Its a quiet town and its quite popular for those who can't afford to buy a house in Edinburgh or those looking for more space for their money.

Its just about 30 to 40 mins drive to Edinburgh. You have to drive across this long bridge(i think its called the new forth bridge). A bit scary for some but with time you'll get used to it.

In terms of jobs, it's a strategic location as you are about 45mins from Edinburgh and Glasgow and around 30mins or so from Stirling. These are cities with a lot of job opportunities compared to Aberdeen which is literally dead job wise. You can easily commute from dunfermline to any of the surrounding cities I've mentioned.

Visa switched and renewed already.

We did NOT apply for free housing support from the council.

We applied for low cost tenancy from housing association.

Like I said, nairaland isn’t reality. Scotland isn’t England.

Valkan:

if your device is beneath android 5 then apps like king root can ROOT it for you.

But if its above then you need to use magisk(which is complex and might BRICK the phone)
Hope this helps

Thank you. It's android 12

Lexusgs430:



If camera quality is a measure, Google Pixel 6 Pro, nah bàbá.......

Collect your money and get pixelated.........

It's not foldable though

Lexusgs430:


The wonders of foldable fragile technology........

It's a lovely phone though with superb camera quality. That's the only reason I'm not dragging Samsung to collect their phone and issue me a refund.

Lexusgs430:


Rooting invalidates the warranty..........

Any fold device, is a very fragile device. Anything can go wrong, at anytime.......

Reason I choose a pixel 6 pro, when I upgraded my Samsung flip ,.....

Yeah, I paid for 2 years insurance cover which covers accidental damage. I just didn't a screen bleed so soon. The phone is barely a month old.

folake4u:


Hi Ralph.
Probably ask qtguru. He uses a Samsung.
Maybe he has an idea on this.

Thank you.

Qtguru
Please can you help? Thanks

Lexusgs430:


Once you root it, it knocks knox out...... But it should recover some pictures.....

Take a those phone shops on the high street for rooting..... Rooting would probably cost £30.00.....

I'm currently on the phone with Samsung to arrange a replacement. Unfortunately, the purchase is out of the 21 days cooling off period [ended 3 days ago]

There's a minor screen bleed which I don't understand how that has happened as it didn't drop.

I'm worried rooting it might invalidate the warranty.

Lexusgs430:


I can't guarantee this would work.......... Download an app called disk digger...... Hopefully, it digs some pictures up .......

I downloaded this yesterday. It didn't work. Although it was saying I need to root the device. No idea how to do this.

Lexusgs430:


It's a virtual network, piggybacking of the 02 network..... So 20000% reliable. ........

Please I need your help. I created a thread on the phones section. . . . Please have a read through

Extratyre01:

Sighs.

Dragnet, please can you help?

I bought a Samsung Fold 3 5G about a month ago and I decided to do a factory reset.

I need to recover my pictures.

Please can anyone help with step by step instructions on how to recover the lost pictures following a factory reset?

I will handsomely reward anyone that gives me a solution that actually works. Thank you
