You must really hate the U.K (leaving me to wonder why) for you to be confused wether to consider a N200k (£177) over a fully sponsored Msc scholarship with a £900 monthly stipend, which when you maximise your 20hr per week work rights, you could easily take home £1,500 Monthly. I was making N280k Monthly in PH back in July 2021, when I migrated to the UK. Looking back now, it was the smartest decision I have ever made in my life. My brother who joined last year never stops thanking me for bringing him here whenever we talk over the phone (he's in Scotland). Your level of pessimism about the UK is profound and it is a trend I have seen here lately. Not all Nigerian immigrant works as "Care Worker" here. I for one I'm a QA/QC Controller in a manufacturing company. The number of internaltional students who gets sponsorship and remains in the UK after their studies, is by far the few who doesn't, not to mention some who didn't have the intention to remain. I'd say don't migrate to any place you do not love, because you wouldn't make it there. You will have to love the land to be able to eat the good thereof. Stay in Nigeria and take the N200k job because with your pessimism about the UK; you wouldn't succeed here. Kind Regards. 1 Like |

Mountbatten: Useless he-goat. You have no right to say I am short-sighted as regards this matter. So, everyone that believes OP should go to the UK are short-sighted while those of you that think otherwise are the far-sighted and wise ones abi? Idiot! And I am telling you that once you go to the UK for on a full Scholarship and the scholarship requires you to go back to your country after your studies, there are several routes you can take that will allow you stay back in the UK. Many people on such scholarship are still in the UK today after completing their studies. They didn't return back to Nigeria. OP can add the scholarship stipends he will get (I think £900) with other minor work will be doing in the UK. At the end of one calendar year, you will realise he would have saved more money living in the UK than living in Nigeria on a 200k salary. And who says OP must work with his Masters Ode? Even as he is schooling in the UK, he can be applying for IT positions. A friend of mine did it. He was employed as a part-time staff. When he finished his studies, he was retained full time. It is coconut heads like you that go to the UK and can't think outside the box. Zombie! |

JaskanFactor: Hmmmmmmmmm It's well. What a comment. Tbh, I will say you are somehow right. I work in a multinational organization too and most companies have worked with are European and American companies. Damnnmnn...I am even surprised why I haven't gotten BP by now. The racism is crazy. People always say tribalism is killing Nigeria but bro, tribalism is a child's play where racism is. An Igbo may not like Yoruba but he won't despise him to the extent of avoiding using the same cup or not wanting to see you and so all. The list is endless. I mean endless and it is the major driving force for me to fully setup biz and be totally independent because, how long will I keep doing this? It's crazy |
Re: Tech Job Or U.K Fully Funded Scholarship by JaskanFactor: 9:01pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
emmaodet: From my experience, you can take the dangers of racism lightly until you get older or fall sick or become vulnerable in some way, then its dangers hit you all at once. Working for them , is like dancing on the edge of a cliff . If you can, dont put yourself in a position where oyinbo mans money or property depends on you or your performance. In my case i seriously downsized my standard of living , accommodation, sold my car , and moved to the cheapest town i could find in the map , just so i didnt have to work for them anymore and have time to redesign a new career for myself working from onside my house without having to see a single oyinbo person all week if i want. took nearly a decade but i thank God for progress. In the remote small town i moved to , cobbler wont touch my shoe, tailor wont repair my clothes. And the shops only tolerated my presence, so long as i did not go the same place too often. But when i finally found i shop i said i will never return to due to rude behaviour , it was fellow Nigerians store. And when the time came that i said i will never return to my doctors practice , it was when i saw their new Nigerian doctor who was so rude to me, that if i recorded what he said , he would have been struck off. So sometimes this days , i dont give a shit what happens to black people anymore, maybe it is the fact that people who hate each other as much as black people do deserve to suffer at the hands of thier enemies until they come to thier senses. So that the entire black race is now exhibiting symptoms of Stockholm syndrome, the stage where they fall in love with thier enemies and are disgusted by each other. Thats why black women spend all thier money destroying thier skin and hair to look like oyinbo, literary covering thier head with thier enemies hair. Who is all too happy to sell it to them. Hence when i see another black person in europe now, a small reflex frown flashes across my face , especially if i hear them speaking youruba , and am youruba too. The youruba people i have met in Europe have done far worse to me than the racists that make our lives hell. Youruba people wont know the cost of bad behaviour , materialistic worship till its too late. Even black Americans say this about not africans, but Yoruba. So i wont blame you if you flee africa to escape your own people right into the hands of your enemies. Its hard place and a hard place. Cant count how many jobs i was happy to leave due to racism only for the next job to be full of hardcore Nazis. And then if youre lucky you get old enough to realise even the people in your family are probably worse than all of them combined, and then you will really believe in and surrender to God. 1 Like |

This is why context is very important. If you want to achieve a career in Tech, UK is not the place to start if you have no work experience except you want to leave Tech entirely. Getting an internship in the UK as an entry-level tech person OR getting sponsorships as entry-level is extremely & extremely difficult. Please note that this is specific to tech. Your job is good & that's fine. If the OP wants to move to UK & study biological sciences, according to him, he MUST come back to Ng if at the end of the programme he doesn't already have a job. Which means he has to settle for any job he sees to keep him there & that is fine too, but he will forget about tech & move on. So it depends on the career path he wants, If he wants to stay in tech, then an Internship in the Fintech company works better. GreatChizzy: |
Re: Tech Job Or U.K Fully Funded Scholarship by tosinhtml: 3:11am On Aug 09, 2023 |
Mountbatten: People are just looking at the 900 Pounds involved & opportunity to stay in the UK to do support jobs. A biological science master’s degree will not even get him any where. It is a waste of degree I tell you, waste of time & money all together. It would have been better if he doesn't have any passion in I.T, it would ease the stress of making a choice very easy for him, to just move to UK & grab any job that comes along. 1 Like |

Iboyx: Bro it depends wether u really want to Japa or not ...some people still prefer to stay home so long as there is a job that foots d bills... Life in the UK is not as easy as it sounds and it's .... So follow your heart.... But if I have such tech skills I prefer to stay naija and work, working remotely even gives you more opportunities to handle more than one tech jobs if u no what i mean... You still get tech jobs from companies abroad and work remotely from naija |

Amayabor1: Just because you were able to throw in some insults doesn't mean you had a compelling argument. You've once again demonstrated your lack of intelligence and grace. You're an unfortunate fellow. I am yet to see a scholarship which offers full tuition payment to the UK that doesn't require the candidate return after their studies, unless they decided to ignore the terms which violates the scholarship. You're a simpleton, as you've completely digressed from the main point of dialogue. If OP truly has a passion for IT, going to study a Biological Sciences course will be a complete waste of time but greedy tw@ts like yourself can't see beyond the 200k salary quoted here. Everyone starts somewhere, so 200k will only be temporary. I know many peers who started on similar “low wages” but now earn in dollar while working remotely in Nigeria because they took their careers seriously and weren't short-sighted like yourself. I refuse to be dragged further into your level of ignorance, so I will end the discussion here and hope OP doesn't take advice from a foolish fellow as yourself. |
Re: Tech Job Or U.K Fully Funded Scholarship by Amayabor1: 8:20am On Aug 09, 2023 |
Mountbatten: You can't be a dimwit and still be useless at the same time. There are legal, safe routes that you can explore to stay back in the UK even after you complete your studies. That they told you to go back to your country after your study is not a rule cast in stone. That is what I am letting you block head know. You talked about your friends who started small and now they are earning in dollars. What of those that started small but were later fired for one reason or the other (e.g the company folding up)? Or those who have been on a particular salary grade for 2-4 years now? OP has a better chance of saving more money throughout the duration of his masters program in the UK than if he was to stay in Nigeria with a 200k monthly salary within the same period. OP has a better chance of getting a good offer from IT companies in the UK (even on a part time basis as a graduate student). But despite these compelling evidences, you still want him to remain in Nigeria all in the hope that he will soon be earning in dollars. Buffon! I hope you don't have younger ones that you advise? |

Go for UK scholarship. Only side jobs there will fetch you more than five hundred thousand naira monthly. |
