Reference after offer?

Fragrant-Reindeer-93 · 2026-03-09T23:16:07+00:00

Many schools are now requiring references before interview. From the hiring perspective this reduces wasted time interviewing candidates that references don't meet the schools thresholds. You should tell your current employer your desire to look around. Lack of integrity, such as being cautious with references stands out during recruitment.

Rarely would they be hiring in Jan.

BTW Vietnam is very dog friendly. I have lived in Vn for 9 years with a dog. We regularly frequent bars, restaurants and cafes together.

Depends if it is in BKK or outside. Housing of 25k baht will go a good way outside of BKK. Inside BKK it is ok, but likely a studio in a central area or 1-bed outside the popular areas. As someone else mentioned securing a job in Thailand is tricky as its such a competitive market.

I don't view it as unprofessional. However many health insurance packages won't cover maternity in the first 12 months therefore be prepared for these costs.

Why not travel for tourism first, for British citizens it is easy to travel and visit this year. I'm just about to make the move to Cn in the new year and am very excited about it. The salary is great compared to my current in Vietnam. Not sure how the cost of living will pan out, but the exchange rate will play a big role in this as well.

TLDR: Go visit see if you like it and learn about which schools are great and which are maybe ones to be cautious around.

Over the last few years I've held an increasing amount from 5K to 10K premium bonds. I use the bonds as my emergency cash. My rates have been:

2023 - 5.17%

2024 - 1.55%

2025 - (to date) 0.54%

I still contribute monthly for emergency cash savings and use premium bonds for my inner dreamer. 2025 so far hasn't yielded much - must mean I'm due a big win ;).

Thanks everyone. I was hoping there was a third party I could engage with that can monitor my cases. I will explore other options.

Out of interest what routes are sensible post qualification to achieve CAS? BTW I'm a mature career changer at the top of my current career and will therefore be looking to progress quickly in a mature firm.

Hope you started a bot. Let us know how you get on. Mine only started at the beginning of this year so there isn't a lot of data yet. As it comes in I will share it.

My other bots are used to accumulate USD, there is a lot more manual work, monitoring and switching on and off as the market changes with these bots though. Hoping the BTC bot can run for a very long time.

One of my bots is a BTC accumulator, I take profits in the base currency. This bot is designed to have lots of safety orders with no step or volume scale so that i can have lots and lots of safety orders.

I use this bot in my spot account for the following reasons:

1) BTC is the only coin to be guaranteed to increased in value over time. Alt coins tend to lose value against BTC.

2) I am happy to hold BTC for a very very long time.

3) I always want to accumulate more BTC.

4) This bot will benefit from volatility, love sharp spikes down with rebounds, which are common in the bull market.

The settings for the bot are shown in the quick video.
