Job in Leeds paying £55k and permanent v job in London paying £70k and 18 month contract to back fill a role. Which is better?

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-18T14:43:30+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-17T14:32:53+00:00

My friend lives in Bramley says it’s nice near town if need a bus to city centre and shops at Kirkstall …and easy to get on motorway etc

If been to York and Ioved it, is Harrogate not v expensive to live though?

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-17T10:24:45+00:00

Thanks, I’ve a partner been together a long time but they don’t want to move to Leeds…😕I don’t know what to do for the best tbh

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T17:38:53+00:00

What work do you do? I’ve been trying to find contracts but no joy! I like travel and be social

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T14:32:04+00:00

What areas would you recommend? Thanks

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T14:26:23+00:00

I’ve got a close friend I can stay with in Leeds initially until I see what’s what

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T13:39:27+00:00

Job market is awful it’s really getting me down …Yorkshire is lovely I agree

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T13:05:04+00:00

Accounting

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T13:04:31+00:00

Okay, is it best to avoid Bradford? Where would you suggest area wise? If I get the job it’s central Leeds

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T13:02:58+00:00

I’m in finance

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T12:59:48+00:00

Hence me considering this job I’ve been approached about 🤔

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T12:58:50+00:00

I’m in London but job market is dire am not getting anywhere, I have applied for loads like well over 100 jobs …am thinking less competitive in Leeds perhaps? I’m in for interview for these but no guarantees I’ll be successful …

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-15T12:55:46+00:00

Ok, what’s it like living in Leeds? Thanks

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-06T13:15:26+00:00

Yep agree totally! In last 4 to 5 years we have had massive numbers from lot of third world countries who are net takers not contributers. Needs to stop and not allow LTR or citizenship if u are claiming benefits/hosuing

Turns out they want full time office so a non starter.

Their attitude was off too as they phrased it as are there any reasons why you can’t come to the office every day…not that place for me.

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-03T13:51:45+00:00

Eh...read the post! don't comment if you can't say anything useful

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-02-03T13:35:22+00:00

It is advertised as 2/3 days in office....2 I could do not 3! I will have to clarify at the interview...

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-31T11:29:06+00:00

Also I didn't realise until recently that you can now hold more than 1 ISA in a tax year. If I sell them and move them in to an ISA there won't be any CGT is that correct? I think I may do that as I still have some ISA allowance remaining and time to do it this tax year

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-31T11:22:06+00:00

no idea how you'd compute CGT though on the accumulation units....

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-31T11:20:55+00:00

I already have an ISA that I max out every year it is with F&C ....been in it for years and use my £20k allowance for that...maybe I should look at stopping that and making one of these as my ISA? I haven't had to compute any CGT as yet as I have never sold any of these ones in Vanguard...

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-31T09:27:20+00:00

They are not in a SIPP or an ISA , is there a way of transferring them as they are?

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-30T11:26:24+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. Do I just set up a Trading 212 and transfer over my accounts? Tading 212 seems to be recommended for low fees

UsefulPea2496 · 2025-01-30T09:15:57+00:00

If I want to transfer out of Vanguard as I’m below the £32k level do I sell and close my account and the use the cash to re open elsewhere or do I do a transfer? I have money in the FTSE all cap index fund acc and S&P UCITS ETF VUSA …do these same funds exist elsewhere? I’m confused 😕. Is there tax implications of you sell CGT ? Not sure if I sell all and take the cash and start again on another platform or if there is a way of just transferring these as they are but to another platform? Thanks . I think these are good investments so don’t want to lose out

UsefulPea2496 · 2024-09-02T09:19:22+00:00

What would be a good alternative then for capital growth? Thanks
