New UK visa regulations to affect Indians from November 24

[eek]

You do realise all graduates could remain in the country without a job up until 2011? Yes, even those sport science morons from kingston university.

£30k would limit grads to financial services and the big software houses too. Seems like a stupid idea that will drain the country of much need skilled resources.

I'd much rather we have 1000 Indian techies over a yet another lazy European lodging in a room and working in a coffee shop.

You need to read what the rules actually are then. That was a graduate on an inter company transfer not a graduate who has studied here staying.

As for not wanting Indian techies around I don't mind the good ones. The problem is that most of the ones I've seen are not that good and some are blooming dangerous and should not be allowed near a keyboard.

I worked with an excellent one when I was working at Cap Gemini, of all places, really knew his stuff.
Funny thing is I recognised his name from one of the tech forums and had helped him out on a number of occasions.
Law of averages, I guess, given how much IT has been pushed out there.
