Which insurers are rejecting you and on what basis? How long were you driving before moving to the UK and how long have you been in the UK? What's the average quote you've received? And what's "cheap" to you? You might be getting high rates based on your age, employment and family status, location and other risk factors. By the way, I don't understand what you mean by international license. Your regular Naija license can be used for the first year of your residence. If you've not already done that, you can use the quote aggregators below to get multiple offers; https://www.comparethemarket.com/ https://www.moneysupermarket.com/ https://www.confused.com/ CotenantNIG: 8 Likes 3 Shares |

marylandcakes:They should also set up a dartcrossing account and fund it that way they’ll automatically charge them whenever they go over the bridge. … if they live within dartford or Thurrock councils they can register their vehicles and pay an annual fee for £20 and have unlimited use of the bridge. https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge 4 Likes |

Blazingdiamondz: This is a personal decision, there is no right or wrong answers. It just depends on what you want. If you need sponsorship or money urgently, for instance, stick to the care role. 1 Like |

It's been interesting reading the comments on pension and the general economic outlook of the UK in the short, medium and long term. Personally I feel it's important understanding the true economic status of the UK since that's where we live at the moment. My question, could this seemingly gloomy economic outlook be the reason why many migrants are looking at leaving the UK to Ireland, Australia, Canada?? This has been a burning question to me. I'm on a CoS in the UK, and don't intend leaving to the aforementioned countries even if I get the opportunity... But again, is this my thinking right at all?? I'll appreciate informed responses/comments as always. |

ehizario2012: Many migrants seem to be on an eternal search for an earthly utopia with ultra high paid jobs,ultra low taxes, free quality healthcare (with zero waiting lists), cheap insurance and housing, sublime weather, high levels of immigration but tolerant natives and government, a country that "works" but where they can also do as they please.... I digress 😂 Anyways, have you paid attention to the news coming out of Canada and Australia? The biting cost of living and serious problems with scarce and unaffordable housing? The pressures on their public services? For example, I read the other day that some Canadians are opting to go abroad e.g. to India to get MRIs and other scans done, instead of waiting over 1 year for the same tests in Canada. Point is, many of the economic issues being faced in the UK are also being replicated in pretty much all major Western countries, and are far worse in the migrants' home countries, so they might need to relocate to another planet to find a land they don't consider "gloomy". 15 Likes |

Blazingdiamondz: 20K a year is too small, stay in your current job while you search for one that pays better with benefits. That is my personal opinion. 7 Likes |

Is salary negotiation not allowed in NHS? I don't understand why HRs would want to see previous payslips and insist on starting you on the lower scale of Band salary. Someone should please make me understand this |

Blazingdiamondz: You should do the £20k job for experience and since you have experience in the care industry..continue to do that one as well part time (evenings or weekends) to top up your salary. 1 Like |

Work experience most times is the reason. At other times, when one is coming into the system newly, you are started off on the lower compared to if you are already an NHS staff for example and you are moving across to the new role you will be started on the higher scale. babajeje123: 1 Like |

Sad, but you can reject that offer and negotiate higher. Let her know that you re worth the higher band based on your past experience in the same role. Most HRs are like that they want you to negotiate and if you don't ....the better for them. babajeje123: 2 Likes |

Zahra29: This.right here eternal Utopia People leave and stay for their own reasons. To the OP don't assume everyone had the same expectations or drivers for leaving . Nothing is new about the UK economy or how the UK treats migration. It's a cycle of rinse and repeat corresponding to election cycle. Migration to Ireland, UK, Canada, US sef is decade long. The only difference now is YOU since You're now in a position or age that those options matter to you. Greetings to the house!! 3 Likes |
