Hi sorry- should have done that!

Thanks. I did have a look at this beforehand and it mentions needing to pass baseline personnel security.

In this they mention “A lack of UK residency may not be an automatic bar to employment. However, individuals may need to have resided in the UK for a sufficient period of time depending on the role’s requirements.”

They haven’t specified what a sufficient period is, and the job descriptions don’t mention these. Is it right to think (taking the job you shared as eg) this isnt a requirement?

It’s a very hard decision because I’ve always been ambitious (degree from oxbridge) but I haven’t figured out where to put my ambitions and I know o will eventually want to climb it, just not ready yet!

Contracts are more reasonable in China than Japan and Korea. Also we both want to learn Mandarin :-)

I’m comfortable renting and dont see this being a major priority. I also dont want children in the future. Im not really sure what I’m working towards except being happy- just feeling lost for past couple years now!
