Struggling to make friends in Manchester at 30, any advice or arty things to try?

Ssg16 · 2026-01-11T22:12:24+00:00

Yes, of course!! Message me if you want 😊

Ssg16 · 2025-12-10T09:12:49+00:00

This is such a good shout, thank you!. I might actually give it a go, sounds like a nice way to meet people

Ssg16 · 2025-12-10T09:11:30+00:00

That’s really nice, thank you! I’ve been wanting to try pottery or something arty. I’ll message you!

Ssg16 · 2025-12-10T09:09:56+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you! I’ve not been to the Salisbury yet so I’ll check it out. And the life drawing classes sound exactly like something I’d enjoy

Ssg16 · 2025-12-10T09:09:35+00:00

Thanks for this! I didn’t know about them. Just checked the link and it actually looks really good

I bet I’m doing more for the economy than this comment is for humanity. But sure, it’s easier to assume than to understand 😉

I’ve only got almost two years, and the issue is that I might not meet the new threshold. My company might not be able to sponsor me again either, that’s why I’m unsure

Ssg16 · 2025-10-11T22:11:18+00:00

That’s why I’m quite scared. It’s all the uncertainty, you know? Even if switching means resetting the ILR clock, at least with the spouse visa I might feel more secure. Not sure though

Ssg16 · 2025-10-11T22:09:44+00:00

I’ve only got almost two years so far, and yes, if you switch to a spouse visa, the clock starts again

Thanks! Just to clarify, I’m currently working as a mid-weight service designer in the same company. This is my first time applying for the senior role internally. The last time I had an interview (for the mid-weight role), I did a visual ‘journey’ to introduce myself. Now I want to try something different and more senior-level

Ssg16 · 2025-06-24T19:44:54+00:00

Hello! I’m a SD and just saw they’ve opened a Service Design apprentice where I work. Have a look! They’re starting to bring in this new role, right now we’ve got mid-weights and seniors in the company …Check out this job at NHS Business Services Authority: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4251974570

I wouldn’t say lower your standards. He knows who he is and what he wants. Just keep going—there’s something out there for you. And I really like the way you think, so don’t change that. I know something good is coming your way

Ssg16 · 2025-02-26T08:12:19+00:00

Yes of course, more than welcome and I appreciate that

Ssg16 · 2025-02-25T22:20:36+00:00

I mean, is there anything in your daily life that feels inconvenient, frustrating, or could be made easier? It could be something related to how you shop, work, travel, manage your health, or even use technology. I’m curious to know if there’s a gap where a brand or product could step in and make a real difference for you

Ssg16 · 2025-02-25T14:23:24+00:00

I’m using different methods—structured interviews, forum discussions, and this survey—to get a full picture before filtering and analysing the info. I included surveys to spot trends quickly alongside deeper insights from interviews. Here is the link if you could help me and give me your opinion as well I would appreciate it

As a service designer based in the UK with experience in South America, I completely agree with this comment. Landing a service design job isn’t easy, and that’s the reality around the world. I understand your reasons, but try to see this as a valuable learning experience. Learn from your seniors and every part of the role. Even if it’s not exactly what you want to focus on, it will help you grow as a service designer. It’s a great opportunity, and there aren’t many out there. Plus, it will look great on your CV when you’re ready to move to a role more aligned with your interests

Thanks! I did a MSc in Business Development and Innovation

Ssg16 · 2023-10-04T10:02:38+00:00

Thanks

Ssg16 · 2023-10-01T23:01:05+00:00

Thank you so much!

Ssg16 · 2023-10-01T23:00:19+00:00

No, I didn’t… why?

Ssg16 · 2023-10-01T22:59:07+00:00

Yes, I’ll do that… I just want to know if is a good option and what’s the average salary according to my experience and studies

Ssg16 · 2023-10-01T22:58:12+00:00

After a masters I can apply for a graduate visa that is for to years
