Quality in life better in the UK - this is very very subjective and depends on the individual planning a career move out here. Most Tier 1 skilled migrants tend to leave good jobs and come here for the purpose of earning well and saving up. There is a small minority that tend to settle down in the U...
Karuna, All the previous posts are absolutely right on the J2EE market at the moment and also for the future. J2EE and Java development and design work is no longer well paying. With 7 years experience, a decent job in India can fetch close to Rs 14lakhs - provided you put some effort and clear inte...
And YES, given the qualification you both have, you guys have a great life back home than struggling and spending your savings in this place.....all the best to you both!!!
Wanderer, MBA only for 25/30 years experience? - now that I have to disagree with completely. An MBA from the top Unis with even 5 years work experience under your belt is enough to open doors to interviewing at some top notch companies. And when I say Work Experience I do mean just Work Experience ...
Just try to hang in there but also be practical. Just 2 yrs exp with an MBA from Middlesex will not open a lot of doors for you. At the moment, there are many local Mid to Senior Level Managers across segments like Retail, Reality, IT and Banking who are also hunting around for jobs. This morning I ...
Agree with namastelondon and want to add that the number of Asians in the north coupled with scarcity of IT jobs at the moment shows the real plight of the IT world in North of UK. While I used to live down south, on which I base most of my replies here, the pay structure and jobs are relatively a l...
This question has been asked and answered a number of times in previous posts. Suggest you spend some time and go through those threads than ask such vague questions and expect members to post the same replies again!
Think the OP needs a lil more help and insight in making the decision to quit and come here..... 1. Time lines for securing a job can be anywhere between 2 to 6 months 2. Expenses - while jobless you need atleast £400 to £700 a month 3. Risks - Do you have a family? Do you have any monetary liabil...
Hi Kishorepadman, What exactly are you looking for in the Java/J2EE Domain coz it is very vast. There are lot of jobs as junior and senior developers across UK with salaries ranging from £24k to £35k. There are also a lot of jobs for Designers, Architects etc in this domain and with proper experie...
fawzyyy3 wrote: and will this be available when I land in UK? You asked the similar question earlier as well Fawzyyy3, how can anyone guarantee a job will be waiting for you when you land here? You are asking something really improbable. Technologies you listed has scope here but you have to be read...
From all my previous posts, one would know I am only here to give practical advice in the UK market to those asking genuine questions. My answers may be harsh but with so many people packing their bags and planning a jolly trip to the UK, it's also my duty to put things into perspective for them so ...
Fawzyyy, If your spoken English is anywhere close to your written English, then please do not come to the UK. The way you have framed your questions and put on your thoughts down clearly shows you need a little more work on yourself. Anyways, back to your questions 1) do u think there is any availab...
Please help me interpret this no. (1-2 jobs per day) Absolutely irrelevant as there are not many market statisticians out here to analyze to such an extent. It could either mean no jobs at all or for your area, that's a superb number. Also, 1-2 jobs per website? Or across all websites with repeats ...
Npanglia - Rather than waiting for us to clarify, you will get a better idea if you just search for Six Sigma and PM jobs on some good portals like jobsite, monster, reed etc. Go through each job posting, see what they are asking for, the relevant experience and what they mean by it and then decide ...
Relevent experience - This should be easy to understand. If not, let me explain in real simple terms Say you are a process improvement expert trying for a job with inclination towards management. So what are the obvious initial questions 1. What process improvements have you carried out. In what env...
Ok, so this is how I believe Consultants actually shortlist potential candidates for interviews. I have come to understand this over various discussions with many people applying for roles in the market 1. Job opening in a company forwarded to their preferred Consultants to begin the search 2. Job a...
I think you need to go on the UKBA site and check for any employment restrictions or requirements in your field of work. I know that Doctors, Dentists and nurses have to qualify for UK employment by writing a number of tests and also do some internship though I am no expert in this field. It's a goo...
But it doesn't mean talented people are ruled out Unfortunately it does - The basis behind this is simple - irrespective of one's nationality, middle and top management posts are only given to locals or those with relevant management skills. If you do a revelant Masters Degree in the UK or have bee...
Hi bo0dy, Let me try and help you out if possible. For an annual package of £33000, net cash in hand is £24,694.20 so roughly about £2k a month. You can add your 12.5% shift allowance to this as it is variable (I assume?) Coming to the actual amount - No, with around £2k in hand it is not possib...
Most never ask for references, the ones who do ask are usually the initial recruitment agents while they check your profiles and short list you. The final employer itself does not bother about it. Even if they ask for it, as in some big govt organizations, it is more process related than actual back...
PS : If you work in London and want to save then there are so many options to live outside London. Few small towns I have heard of are Maidenhead, Langley, Slough which are on the main train into London and rents are anywhere between £500 to £800 a month and living costs normal. Buy a monthly trai...
London, London and London - so why does the world think there is no other city in the UK other than London :-) Looking at your post in detail and what you are ready to undergo then my bet is to go for it. Dont only rely on £350+ contracts because apart from the 40% tax, one also needs to bear in mi...
You dint specify process and change management - I do a lot of work in this area but limited to high level Business Process Analysis and again limited to the IT Telco domain :-) I did interview a few process change/improvement candidates and they are far and few out here. The key aspect is these guy...
Many out here do a lot a certifications to better their career prospects. That being said, PMs or even Associate PMs have much more than 4 yrs exp to even get a role managing projects. I can only provide info in the Telecom and probably a few product management domains in the IT sector but that shou...
Hi demur123, I am sorry to hear its been tough going for you. Just want to give you hope by saying that there are jobs in Java/J2EE in the UK. Not sure of your particular expertise but I myself have 4yrs in the J2EE domain but now moved on to analysis. But I do also have a huge number of J2EE friend...
