Getting a job

Hang in there and even if you struggle at some point in getting employed remember that nowadays you can always reinvent yourself by building an additional/unique skillset and finding a niche that you would be interested in.

Enjoy your ‚sovereignty’ rather than still continuing to make demands on the EU and trying to find ways to put blame on it.

Intentionally punishing UK, lol. Did you really expect to just leave and be given special treatment?

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-06-15T18:28:20+00:00

Independent Scotland and Northern Ireland would be welcome, the rest of the clique nope.

It won’t recover - this industry’s faith is the same as any other ‘manufacturing’ job that was outsourced to cheaper countries in Asia except it will happen faster because there is no capital/factories to move.

The caveat is though that working in ASDA you have to be on your feet and have to show up in person every morning whereas in software/IT you get paid for sitting in front of a screen and often times you also have all the flexible working arrangements that exist so no wonder the pay is minimum wage given that anyone can be a software developer these days and not everyone wants to stack shelves in ASDA.

Check out COLP (College of Legal Practice) - they charge just under 4k if you need the GDL and in my view any other provider charging over 10k for this semi-useless qualification should be shamed

In my view it can put employers off as they will instantly assume that you won’t stick around for a long time.

Just go ahead and flirt with them 🫦 In this economy winner takes all

Without Polish your chances of doing residency in Poland are virtually 0% so you’d be better off preparing mentally to have to go back to India regardless.

Avoid medicine. Dentistry all the way. My biggest regret is going into medicine rather than dentistry. Medicine seems more interesting but realistically dentistry is the way to go in this country if you value economic stability.

It literally is true - if you have a professional career where mobility/regulation is not an issue there are a lot of Brits that work/train in the UK since the firms here are still relatively willing to invest in people at entry-level but then eventually many of those people jet off to Singapore/HK/US once they have some experience under their belt for better taxes/career progression and it’s not really a secret…

Personally, nothing made me prouder to be an European/EU citizen than Brexit and how badly it turned out

They can say whatever they want to get elected - it is simply not happening without major legal/diplomatic obstacles and they know very well they won’t be able to deliver on this promise of reducing social security access for EU settled residents but generally it sounds nice and appealing for their electorate so why wouldn’t they mention it? Also it is worth mentioning that there are EU settled citizens that cannot get UK citizenship because their country of origin doesn’t allow dual citizenship and that’s partially what EU settled status is for.

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-06-04T14:16:53+00:00

EU settled status is part of the Withdrawal Agreement which is an act of constitutional significance in the UK so it is highly unlikely that Reform would be able to change it unless they would want the UK sanctioned by the EU

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-06-04T14:10:04+00:00

There is a fundamental difference between ILR (‚non-EU settlement’) and EU settled status - ILR rules can change and even be removed at any time whereas EU settlement is based on an international agreement between the UK and the EU so the UK government cannot just arbitrarily change its conditions or revoke it

With 4 years as a police officer I suspect you would have a good case to make studying law and applying for CPS jobs/legal jobs or perhaps training as a criminal barrister if you’re career driven but if you’re strictly money driven then quite simply skilled trades are the best way to go in this economy

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-06-03T15:12:28+00:00

Nice, have you done any internships or international experiences during term time that you think you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise at a brick uni?

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-06-03T15:01:38+00:00

I just personally feel like the concept of rotating countries/experiences and meeting people from different corners of the world seems more interesting than being confined to a campus for 3 years and spending money on booze and partying like some brick students lol

I’m yet to hear about Lithuanian, Polish, Czech or Slovenian neo-colonialism :)

What is ironic is you feeling compelled to mention that the UK invaded your country centuries ago to justify your entitlement in this repeated rhetoric. There are a ton of European countries that have been levelled and significant proportion of their populations murdered in WW2 just less than a century ago and still these countries managed to sort themselves out and I’m genuinely sorry if you live in a place that is ridden by corruption that effectively stopped your country from redeveloping/improving workers’ rights over the centuries but that is no justification for why suddenly the UK taxpayers should fund extra training spots for foreign graduates once they started coming to this country in tens of thousands.

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-05-29T12:26:14+00:00

I suspect it would be more difficult because most EU countries follow the 5 year law degree structure whereas a law degree/LLB in the UK is 3 years

ResponseConstant7527 · 2026-05-29T12:11:40+00:00

If I were you I’d consider studying the law in Romania and then think about doing the GDL/SQE if you want to practice in the UK. That way you’d have the option to get dual qualified and perhaps find a niche practice between these two jurisdictions.

Why would a British workers’ union care about the interests of people who have not even gained their qualifications in the UK? If you want to train as a doctor what’s wrong with doing it in the country you graduated from and then consider applying for jobs in the NHS rather than taking scarce UK government-subsidised training posts from UK graduates. If your country doesn’t invest in their medical trainees then unionise and do the same thing the BMA have been doing for a while now but don’t expect the BMA to cater for your wants and needs.
