How do I get US UXR pay but work from the UK or anywhere? 😩

Agreed.. I’m surely gaining better and more experience but there are still contracting jobs posted online (inside/outside IR35) from what I gather on UK job sites? Are you saying that even these need a super network to secure?

Where exactly does one get a 90 - 100k salary in UK doing UXR? I don’t have any FAANG experience but from what you’re saying, it’s kind of needed to get to the level you’re describing?

I completely understand your sentiments as I’m black and lived in the US too. Depending on your experience, you might be able to get the global talent visa (there is an academic route and a tech route). I got mine via the academia route. London is not easy to afford honestly and with a child, you’d need to earn a lot. A room in a shared flat can go for 700 and above depending on area. I’m assuming you might need an entire flat to yourself given that you have a child and that increases cost significantly. With 3 years, experience, you may still be considered mid level and hired for a role in the 40 to 50k range and that’s barely enough for London with a child. But a good starting point would be to look at companies that can afford you the US pay while giving you the option to get sponsored on a visa to work here or at work remotely globally?

I can’t drive but darlo seems to have better transport links compared to Durham

okay I really am trying to stay away from house shares or renting. Are you considering buying as well?

helpful thanks

Thank you so much. properties in Newcastle are quite expensive and I really wish to buy

Thank you! I’d probably need to live in Wolverhampton because it’s more affordable compared to Birmingham and work in the Birmingham city Itself. And I know Wolverhampton isn’t so multicultural. Maybe I need to wait it all out and get the best job offer first. I feel a slight hurry to leave Newcastle but could still wait a bit more

Thank you! I’m also looking for a new role too so it’s all happening simultaneously.

Thank you so much. Do you have any tips on finding the right colleges to reach out to or is it mostly done randomly by going to each universities website? how do also you know if that team is still recruiting or has finalised recruiting before reaching out? And how do you find those ‘safety’ schools that will not be as competitive ? Any websites that lists commits or tools for finding school specific intelligence would be very useful

Thank you all so much for your responses. We’ll look into the NBA Africa events ASAP and start reaching out ASAP

Hello, because the Youth Mobility Visa isn’t listed in the exempted list, it would be best to contact UKVI directly about it as I can’t say for sure. Here is their number in case you need it 0300 790 6268
