now leaving this forum. No answers so far. Instead im having people giving me information that i already know or is completely useless to me...tada folks

Oh dear. Somebody needs a tummy-tickle.

i actually do not mind being undercut as long as they can offer the same services for better price. It is the quality of services and communication difficulties (not mentioning blaming culture and information hogging they are bringing with them, especially if en masse as often the case).

It is also the hypocrisy of 'good value for money' myth. What they are paid (even in 190 a day) is far to high considering.

Sure we'll help you out in any way we can. We just love other people coming over on those visas and under-cutting us all with stupidly low rates.

your opinions not mine! goodnight!

The site I got that from also had the list of jobs and related wages on it ........

It's a cultural thing.... Just a way to tell the person you are reading their posts. Try it. I did it to you.

Pick settings at the top and you of the page and you will see I said Hello!!! to you. Do it to me.

why should i say hello to you? you've been nothing but rude and potty mouthed to me, even telling me to **** off.....

Looks like Tier2 has been capped to only 20700 a year. Doesn't say if that includes or excludes people switching from another visa. I would sincerely hope it includes it.

your opinions not mine! goodnight!

[missjay]

Can you not stay with your Tier 1 anymore? Or get it renewed?? Because Tier 1 is the best option.

You mentioned £50k perm role is usually a senior manager with many many years of experience.... most senior managers (in finance) wil ask for more than £50k.

One can only stay on the Tier 1 post study for 2 years and it is a non renewable category/....

yes correct. it does not necessarily mean the local workforce cannot meet it but it has to be within the ''shortage occupation list'', u can check the list out as compiled by the office of national statistics....so its a case of proving one is meeting such ''highly skilled roles' etc

And this where the sore point is. Many of the jobs on the list got there not because there are no skilled people to do the work, but rather they would not entertain the likes of black apple offering them the job at 30% of the going rate.

My local Indian takeaway almost went bust because UK boarders agency turned up to interview the Bengal chef and then decided he needed to leave the country... I don't see anyone of the locals able to cook Bengal food so who the hell would replace him?

However the uk financial industry are making the local work force redundant at an alarming rate Hundreds of thousands have lost their jobs in the last four years. So it would be hard for you to argue that your skills are in short supply.

[northernladuk]

yes...there is a shortage occupational list which defines such roles in various industries!
obviously you are not aware of any of this so why bother going further which my job specific roles, and from your previous responses I doubt you genuinely are interested in my posts or comments anyways...

But what roles do you do and someone might be able to tell you if you are the right level. A complaints handler won't cut it and no point just picking one and saying it's you if your CV doesn't back it up. It will have to be managerial, decision making or some kind of coding/programming I expect.

Am kinda wondering why a highly skilled workforce cannot use google to find it though.....

[missjay]

But what roles? You have to have a certain level to satisfy the criteria? Doesn't matter what industry.

My understanding of Tier2 visas is that they are intended to bring in people from abroad where the skills cannot be fulfilled locally. What skills are you offering that cannot be met by the local workforce?

What field do you specialise in? Companies Like Logica (Now CGI) might have an interest in you and might be able to help.
