There are openings in Finance sector. What is your experience? Which area have you worked in?

Now that you have decided to take the pluge, dont be discouraged by others' comments. London is still the financial capital of the World and all other industries largely depend on it. A decline in Financial Industry will have a huge negative impact on core manufacturing/retail and more so on other support sectors like IT etc. Thats the reason Govt is pumping in money into the sector.

If you have a good experience in niche area you can look forward to getting some interview calls (Banks have shown renewed appetite to hire ppl recently). Rest depends on how you do in the process.

However, bear in mind that its not going to be easy.

Completely agree with Push, I am in IT Sector (IT Consultant), worked for companies like IBM/Microsoft in India, came here in March and I got a complete opposite response from the market. Though if you have skills/exp/certifications in your domain which I had, you should be able to find one job. I got the job in about 1 month and few days time, had to say that I was pretty lucky to get some interviews as the first 25 days there was nothing for me.

Note: Keep faith in your abilities all the time!!!

Regards

Well I'm really quite amused. As you can see Tier1Blr, this is no place for quitter.

Don't forget to brush on the basics & bring loads of confidence along. That is gonna be the key to your job.

Will reply to your PM shortly.

Congratulations to the guy to be qualified as highly skilled migrant. As Satish said, all of my friends and relatives are advising not go to UK now. I have go the migrant visa on June 04, 2009 but I am still staying in India. From the given opinion, there are bright chances to rise back in the beginning of the forth coming year. I am not sure 6 months waiting period may cause any hindrances in traveling. Because VFS - UK says beginning the travel after 3 months should be checked with immigration dept. Senior Migrants!, I know nothing is easy to get in this world. Please advise to get a part time job and survive till the job market sores.

You can not time the market. No one can. You need to ask yourself - why do you want to come to UK? What if the situation remains the same 6 months hence? What is your risk appetite and what is the fall back option for you? It is difficult to give a generalised advice. I know of people who took a calculated risk, came here and got the job and also those working with me who were made redundant and some of them had to go back to their home countries..... individual circumstances, skills, the sector you are in, endurance limit and some luck decides where you end up. Ultimately it is you who has to decide about the future course of action. This applies to every important decision of your life including education, stream of study, work area, marriage, having kids, moving places etc. Emmigrating to another country being one of them.... think rationally and decide.

From macro level perspective, UK economy is still in dire straits but there are some feeble signs of stabilisation (not recovery). If at all recovery happens, the general consensus is, its going to be very slow and protracted one, unlike US which seems to be doing much better. But who knows.....

Hi all,

Thanks to all for showing me the true scene there in UK but that would not deter me for giving my best shot.

Push_hsmp , i work for Bank of america on their derivatives application and i have recently passed Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) level 1 and will be appearing for level2 next june, my core area is Investment Banking.

rsathish, thanks for the guidance .. will wait for the PM .

For the rest......No pains , No gains .

Thanks & regards.

Derivative applications (which derivatives)- what exactly is the role? structuring/sales/trading? Some of your friends (who were at BoFA India 2 years ago) are in Morgan Stanley (Equity Derivatives Desk)- talk to them.

Best of Luck Tier1Bangalore

Have you landed in UK?

I hate to be the one to say this, but should this not be on the "Employment offers and job seekers" section of the forum?

About your questions Tier1Bangalore, till 2-3 months back all we used to hear was scary stories about how there are no jobs. But recently I have seen a lot of activity in the market.

A couple of friends of mine have recently bagged good job offers (none in finance though, so cannot comment in that area)

So, I would have to agree with push-hsmp on this, there are jobs around for the right people. Of course there is always a huge luck factor in these things.

So decide for yourself, and take a calculated risk.

Is there any particular reason for these negative attitude. Things are definitely not as bad as you are painting. Where you got figure of 2000+ employees ?

Rising property prices are sign of improved market , isn't it?

Theres always two sides to every story.

Let Tier1 Banglore judge for himself.

Sushil Acca looks like he really had a annoying experience in UK but it doesnt mean that u discourage others mate...have a big heart and wish others a good luck there are many who got a job within 15-30 days...

@Tier1Bangalore

Its difficult to find job these days but its not impossible

Find out popular recruiting agencies in ur field , get an appointment. Meet agent , talk to him/her .Get advice from them.

In mean time save every penny you have.

Best of luck.
