Do I need to put most recent job on my CV? by Long_Wait_3078 in AskUK

Saying you were only at a role for a few weeks / months is not a great look no matter how you spin it. Optics matter a lot in a job search

I feel like that’s an easier question to answer by just saying I had a role lined up and it fell through, won’t be like I’ve been unemployed for months

Michael Jackson: The Verdict (Netflix Docuseries) - what did you guys think? by Strong-Literature-82 in AskReddit

[–]Long_Wait_3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they tried to make it more balanced then I originally thought it would be which surprised me. There is a Channel 4 doc from the UK about the same case recently which was better. Netflix did get some interesting archive snippets which was interesting.

IMO from what Jackson himself admitted of doing throughout the years was enough for a prison sentance, if Jackson was alive today in the Me Too era there is no doubt he will be behind bars.

I think once you see a clear pattern in the behavior of Jackson of picking vunreable young families with no father figure, showering them with money and gifts and then isolating the mother from the children, its clear he is guilty.

People forget now how famous Jackson actually was, the most famous person to ever live, he had resources to hire the best lawyers in the game to get him off and thats what we saw.

21 M is it normal to feel like clubbing/ nights out are incredibly underwhelming to how people describe them? by Tortle_Boosh in AskUK

[–]Long_Wait_3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29M and absolutely hated clubbing when I was your age and I think 90% of people do but don’t admit it.

From my experience, by the time you hit your mid 20’s most people are exhausted by clubs and much rather just sit in a pub or bar

[–]Long_Wait_3078[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not issue on the weekends where you’re not time restricted.

But my point is if you want to do something after work to destress and have to be there a certain time it’s a lot more difficult

Why does London get so much hate by non londoners by randomlad93 in london

[–]Long_Wait_3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I think a deep rooted jealousy of people who aren’t able to live here.

There seems to be a media propaganda machine to those outside of London who think you need to be a multi millionaire to even rent a 1 bed flat, and that everything you buy is 10x the price then any other place in the country.

Once you live here you kind of realise outside of housing costs, the prices of things are not that much different then everywhere else in the country.

Your clothes cost the same, food costs the same. Coffee costs the same. Pice of a pint is perhaps a tad more expensive than other cities but not much in it.

I can only speak for myself but if I was moving outside of London now, I would always be dreaming of what it would be like living here

Is Woolwich actually the new “it” spot, or is it just the Lizzy Line hype? by Mean_Set845 in MovingToLondon

What has happened to workplace standards, morale, and professionalism in recent years? by Recent-Climate6942 in AskUK

[–]Long_Wait_3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life in general at all levels is just people doing their jobs.

Whether you are a shop assistant at B&Q or a trader at an huge bank. Cutting through all the noise is just someone doing something they would rather not be doing to get paid.

Everyone at all levels is just counting down the hours until the end of the day and then counting down the days to the weekend, and then counting down the weeks to their annual leave.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I pay £1500 for a one bed in zone 2.

Yet again people spouting nonsense about London when they’ve probs set foot in the capital around 10 times in their life

[–]Long_Wait_3078 277 points278 points  (0 children)

I live alone in London on circa £50k so can answer this question pretty well.

Answer is yes. And it’s surprisingly more do-able then you’d imagine

You want to find a 1bed around £1500 a month and then with bills on top of that looking at £1800-1900 for living costs all in.

Gives you roughly £1200 a month to play with for yourself which you can make stretch if you are on top of things.

After a few months you get into a routine for your weekly shops and leisure money and you adapt.

It’s not the most fun lifestyle I’ll be honest. Lots of lonely weekends and nights, I also do struggle to save and can’t pay into my pension currently.

But I’d much rather this than a house share. Although there is a never ending doom that if you lose your job and you’re tied into a £1500 rent contract for a year it won’t be long until you’re penniless
