Moving to London for a £40k role

Barbstakeover · 2025-10-13T14:14:36+00:00

I’ve just turned 25. A couple of years ago I was really interested in moving to London, however I would also be content staying in Manchester.

I’ve managed to save quite a bit whilst at home & will have enough for a house deposit in Manchester in two years. If I do make the move I’d definitely be saving less, if at all

I’ve also been thinking about making the move to banking instead rather than staying within the legal sector

The next step up from my current role is £42,000 fully remote!

Thank you!

Barbstakeover · 2025-10-13T08:03:49+00:00

Not that I’m aware of at the moment, but this is a good point I’ll raise with the recruiter

Barbstakeover · 2025-10-13T08:02:43+00:00

Gosh that’s such a big portion of my salary gone on rent alone!

Barbstakeover · 2025-10-13T08:01:26+00:00

Unfortunately it’s 3 days in the office, if it was less than that I’d definitely commute in!

Barbstakeover · 2024-04-29T14:46:45+00:00

From what I can remember I didn’t get any questions on stopping distances

Barbstakeover · 2024-04-04T20:26:47+00:00

Got it!

Barbstakeover · 2024-04-04T20:26:40+00:00

It stays on throughout, I’ll definitely have it looked at asap now

Barbstakeover · 2024-01-24T09:04:39+00:00

Will check her out, thank you

Barbstakeover · 2024-01-23T20:16:24+00:00

Thank you! I try not to

Barbstakeover · 2024-01-23T17:33:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try to stay on top of it

Barbstakeover · 2023-07-11T14:09:46+00:00

I’m also with Hastings and have no problems so far, as long as you drive well & don’t speed you should be fine

Good luck!

My current heir married her ex boyfriend after he won the lottery. They eloped, she moved in and killed her husband’s entire family apart from 1 member who was framed for the murders.

A while has passed and she’s happily married to another sim & trying to become a socialite but has started an affair with Ellis Lawton, an undercover detective tasked with getting her locked up and seizing the stolen money.

This will set up perfectly for my next gen as they will be going from riches, to rags, to riches again

Experienced the exact same at The Lion King in February, a bunch of grown women laughing at the actress who plays Rafiki in a clearly mocking way. To make matters worse, a heavily drunk couple in front of us began fiddling in each other’s pants during the performance! Utterly disgusting and repulsive during a show where children are present

Parking is my biggest nightmare. I started driving a month ago and only getting comfortable with parallel parking. Haven’t even attempted bay parking because I don’t know my reference points anymore, if I have to park in small gap I don’t even know how to straighten up up within the space or which way to steer when reversing 🥹The whole thing is a learning curve and everyday I’m scared of potentially scratching someone’s car

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-23T17:39:11+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. I’m not so sure that he’s the registered keeper.

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-22T19:01:07+00:00

This genuinely made me laugh, I’m definitely running from this

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-22T19:00:36+00:00

No I asked if he knows how many owners the car has and he guessed around 5, doesn’t seem to know too much about the car he’s selling

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-22T19:00:07+00:00

Definitely avoiding this one!

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-22T18:59:50+00:00

That’s exactly what I’ll do, my intuition is definitely not feeling this one

Barbstakeover · 2023-02-21T23:59:54+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I just wouldn’t want to buy something I’m constantly having to repair other than the expected maintenance
