| madankumars Member Member # 5174 | Posted January 24, 2004 06:59 AM hi all I came to the UK on HSMP on 1st Jan. I found a Job in IT in 10 days :-), as .NET Architect in central london. The pay is also not too bad (GBP 52K)... the market is always if you are really "highly skilled" haha... just that after coming here i think australia is a much better place to live. i really am lost thinking as to why i came here! too bad i just cant even go back now... |

| ajayxyz Member Member # 7225 | Posted January 24, 2004 09:21 AM Madan i was watching u so after all u got job Congrats... Well if u won't mind could u share ur job hunting experience.. U give hope to we people.. I'm still trying to hunt job from outside UK, Which seems to be an impossible task. 3 weeks already passed in this process and i didn't get any encouraging response. |
| tech Junior Member Member # 7402 | Posted January 26, 2004 11:35 AM Madan is it necessary to have both domain and technical experiecne in UK to get Job? For example, in order to get a developer job Please share your experience. Thanks |
| Simpleton Junior Member Member # 5809 | Posted January 26, 2004 01:00 PM madankumar you are one of the lucky guys who got a job quite easily and also you have an Australian working experience. Not all are lucky. there have been quite a few cases who have come to the UK to work in the IT industry and end up doing all sorts of other work or are totally frustated at the lack of response from the agencies. I don't want to encourage or discourage anybody from coming the UK but as mentioned by ajay, secure yourself before coming to the UK. |
| studyuk2004 Member Member # 7154 | Posted January 26, 2004 04:19 PM I have met several Indian and Pakistani software engineers and MCS's who either fill shelves in super markets or clean dishes. All of them tell back home that they are working as IT professionals. MadanKumars seems to be one too. I may be wrong but our desi people have a tendency of talking big. No offence intended. There is nothing wrong with working hard but one should never lie. |
| sree2004 Member Member # 7368 | Posted January 26, 2004 05:53 PM Good explanation studyuk2004. There may be some people doing like that. You said you met several people working like that, you didn't mention that you met all Indians or others and all are working in supermarkets. Let's hope madankumar is not one among the people you already met. BTW, are you a student or working the UK? |

| madankumars Member Member # 5174 | Posted January 26, 2004 09:22 PM for tech... mate it is not just enough to be a generic programmer anymore. you have to specialise in some vertical industry or in a core technology area. only then you can even think of looking for work in the IT Industry. otherwise stick on to your job! |
