LionInZion: Oh this is great! I have never seen it from this angle. I do understand the GDPR act is making organizations much more accountable for the data they own and so active measures are being taken to govern it. However, many companies especially my industry (insurance) are keen on ensuring they can use their data. The volume of data, even though historical, could really help in their pricing models. The market is huge now and this is the best time for anyone looking to get into data to do so. I did MSc Data Science but I’ve noticed the data science field is getting saturated. Data Governance and Quality is growing and we are all learning on the job, so there’s room for improvement. |

LionInZion: You are so right! Someone very dear and close to me called me yesterday to say they got a job offer of 80k£. He’s still in shock, he got tired of his current company after spending 18months and dusted his CV. Me that wanted to dedicate 5years to my current company have been rethinking my decision. If not for the childcare flexibility my company gives. Note: He came in June 2021 as dependent on student visa and worked in warehouse for 6months to find footing 6 Likes 1 Share |

hyzich:Congratulations, was in your shoes few months ago. Consulting is based on availability of client projects. Having tasted both worlds, I prefer in-house. Though you grow faster in consulting but there was massive layoffs last year at Deloitte and PWC that even people they brought in on Tier2 were affected. Permanent In-house gives peace of mind, not saying there can’t be layoffs but sometimes they may move you to another dept. In all, follow the one that gives you peace😉 2 Likes |

elengine: If you are citizen or have ILR it’s doable. Il advise you reach out to mortgage advisors. Most of them will give you this advice for free and you will get more information and ESIS - like mortgage illustration. I got free advice by registering on Taylor’s website. Got all my calculations done and application for Mortgage in principle too. Infact, I only just found out that Barclays is like the only bank that lends to individuals on Tier2 visa with 10% deposit. The others want at least 25% deposit. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I know I only come here once in a while but cheers to everyone that shares important information on this thread. You are treasured! Any data professional in the building, would love to connect. Plus is there a thread or even forum network for Black Data professionals in the UK? I have recently ported from project management to a core data quality role (did MSc.data science) so need to overcome my imposter syndrome and be confident in my dealings with ‘onyibo’ and colleagues. |
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by corpershun: 4:43pm On Aug 11, 2023 |
My mom’s visa is out - Standard Application Biometrics- 2nd of August 2023 Collection mail - 10th August 2023 TLS VI - visa collected today. We said date of travel for end of month but the Vo decided to put 15th as start date🤦♀️ What I submitted: So, I was initially updating the document one by one, but I felt it was going to confuse the VO and decided to merge them based on the check list that was provided after visa application. I created a Table of Contents in the first page for each checklist and listed the document and the page number. I used I love PDF to merge all the docs with the table of content, it was work but I think it made the application very straightforward. In all I submitted 7 Pdf files 1. Evidence of Ties to Home Country – proof of ties to home country — Letter of Visa Application by my mom where she declared what she does and what she is coming to do in the UK as well as declaration to abide by the laws of the land in terms of no recourse to public funds. In the Letter, she stated relationship between herself and the sponsor. — Attestation Letter from her Parish Vicar — Attestation Letter from where she currently lectures part time (note that I stated she was self-employed in the application) — Attestation Letter from Late husband’s workplace and how long they have known her — Land documents/ Receipt of Properties — Pictures of my mom at Work and with other siblings in Nigeria ( I used Microsoft to build a template where I inserted pictures and stated what each of them was and where they were taken including the date they were taken) 2. Evidence of funds available to you — Merged Bank statements of my mom’s personal accounts, created a table of content for each statement. This was my biggest fear, cos during application, I asked my mom what she feels is her annual income and she said 500K, only for her to print statement and one statement had inflow of 6million+ with outflow of 5.9million, 6 months statement oh. Balance was 174,000 naira. I shock. Her other statement too – inflow of 300,000 and outflow of also 260,000+ under 6 months. Summary is as she gets money, she distributes to different people as a good Samaritan that she is. I questioned her and she said Nigeria is tough, she cannot have and not help people that come to her for help. Okay ngwanu, *I didn’t include any letter of explanation because I didn’t want to draw any attention to it since she was being fully sponsored. And cos I filled 60k as her monthly expense in the application but was seeing expenses of over 250k in a month from her statement. SMH! — Land document and Property receipt to show ownership (I also didn’t explain anything) 3. Evidence that Sponsor is not in breech of UK Immigration laws. – This also had a table of contents and page number of every doc in it — BRP (back and front scans of me and my spouse’s BRB) — International Passports data pages — Visa Approval Letter from UKVI 4. Evidence of Support from Sponsor – Letter of invitation — Letter of invitation stating how we were solely funding the visit, confirming relationship, current workplace, residential address, financial competence and stating that she wouldn’t pose as a financial burden to the UK. Attached phone number and email address and wet signed the Letter. (Just One page letter but very straight to the point) 5. Invitation from UK based family/evidence to be in the UK. I still attached the letter of invitation here. — Proof of reason why she was coming. – mainly pictures which I labelled all — Proof of address – utility bill (only water and light) — Proof of residency status – still attached BRP here too. 6 Evidence of Support from Sponsor — 6 months merged Bank Statements – me and my spouse labelled each page on the table of content. — Work employment contract of sponsor — Payslips to show monthly/weekly income. I didn’t draft any letter of explanation to explain anything cos the balance on the statements was adequate and transactions were clear. 7. Evidence of Relationship with Sponsor — Merged – Birth cert showing her and my dad, my baptism cert, my marriage cert, wedding pictures far back where she featured, legal name change of spouse. — Pictures of different events we have attended together, labelled all using MS word and converted to pdf 10 Likes 2 Shares |

hustla:Yes you can, so my friend got a job with them 20hours Data Analyst, working 20 hours. I asked her how? But she stated she just applied. You know Nigerians nah. I didn’t probe any further. Fast forward to June after coursework, I decided to test the labour market again cos I stopped in Feb due to rejections as per 20hours restrictions. My first application and boom, it’s NHS, I didn’t mention anything about visa until I was offered the role and they needed right to work proof. I was scared and almost didn’t bother as they wanted FT. Could you believe I resumed in Aug and worked 20hours until my school approved me working FT in October after I submitted my project in September. Now, they can’t offer COS for my role as it’s not permanent but my line Mgr showed me how to apply for some roles that offer COS and she’s been so helpful. Practically registered me on some platforms etc. So information is vital and Amarathripple0 is right. I am so happy for The experience I gained this past months and encouraged a lot of my friends too to apply. I wish I knew, I wouldave had at least 1 year experience now. People need to be encouraged, believe me, some of us are being so careful especially those of us without healthcare background. One thing to note is even some Citizens are also laid back, at least I work with them. So it’s okay if you are laid back but know there’s success if you try. I’ve been job hunting again and it’s much better with the NHS experience on my CV. 7 Likes |

lightnlife:I am equally interested too. Mine is I get bored easily doing same routine job. Currently in the NHS as project support but I am bored but skeptical of how il be seen bouncing from job to job. Good thing I can use the expiration of my student visa as an excuse to leave. But how do you communicate this to employers. I would love to know |
