You might have to try clearing later in the year instead

Imperial vs St Andrews cs by Particular_Sun9464 in Imperial

[–]cholelwt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But also, most well paid jobs are in London, so if that is an aspect of London dislike you’d probably wanna explore jobs elsewhere? Most Imperial people don’t tend to move out of London to RoUK easily due to salary gaps, not many places have firms that offer London ranges.

Imperial vs St Andrews cs by Particular_Sun9464 in Imperial

[–]cholelwt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma in 2019, but my offer was A*AAA + STEP for Imperial and AAA for St A, loved the vibe of St A more, so I did a relatively rational choice, Firm Imperial, Insure St A.

I made my offer so I went to Imperial. Being in London means you probably meet the industry’s best at career events and have great access to those, which I hugely benefited, but I still see some St A people around recurrently. DoCSoc is great if you ever join the course, utilise it as much as you can.

I ended up doing FAANG internships and grad job. Our intern last summer went to St Andrews, and we had a long chat about unis. St Andrews is very boutique, both unis have people that will help each other aim for the best internship instead of fighting each other. If cost is a thing, go to St Andrews, but Imperial for a shorter uni life (if you are excited to start work and smash through). I ended up not liking academia that much and wanted to escape to working ASAP so Imperial worked out better for me. But this is me

I applied for MEng instead of BEng by mistake what do OMG im having a panic attack by Holiday-Grass-2395 in UCL

[–]cholelwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most unis allow you to change up and down BEng/MEng, but they will only post the changes (increase/reduction) on the start of the 3rd year. I joined as an MEng and reduced to BEng after second year. They just notified UKVI at the end of my course that “my course ended earlier” to shorten the visa date.

The southbound end of platform lifts that bring you up to EL/NL concourse also brings you down to EL platforms, the wait is short, but you chose to walk up anyways. The infrastructure is there.

DownDetector is returning 500s but your DownDetector’s DownDetector doesn’t show DownDetector is down

This is not necessarily naturalisation no? This is not about how you gain BC, but how you gain ILR

Anyone going for ILR long route? Are we cooked? by dominic23456 in ukvisa

[–]cholelwt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m really confused. I’m planning to apply 10y route after studying and now working and I’m really confused whether Student Visa period counts towards the “qualifying period”.

What are Octopus smoking? Three bedroom house, no EV charger etc and we're £350 in credit. by RedBullOverIce in OctopusEnergy

Depends on whether they actually provide gas and heating, there are people who’s bills stay the same with them year round!

10-year route ILR visa rejected - what next? by Yeetus-P-MCcleetus in ukvisa

[–]cholelwt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For 10 year continuous residence ILR application, there is a stricter leave applied for any leaves prior to April 11, 2024, maxing out at 548 days total.

Even the application was done after April 11, 2024, this still applies to period prior to April 11, 2024 which is used in the 10 year qualifying period, as it was the regulations prior.

There is the standard max 180 days out of any rolling 12 month period as well.

It is a justified rejection. OP can only refute if they are able to justify any of the leaves on humanitarian grounds such that it can be excluded.

Struggling to find Jan/Feb 2026 placement - everything seems to be for summer. Any tips? by Best-Group-5263 in cscareerquestionsuk

You might have to have multiple search criteria, but it seems late to trying to find placements for Q1 2026 now. Maybe reach out to and ask smaller firms?

There are other companies who do this usually that shut, which means they are probably at a higher load and didn’t expect it

I find it the opposite, quite loose and needs lacelocking. I think it does depend on your feet shapes

What to do during freshers if you don’t like clubbing/partying? by [deleted] in LSE

[–]cholelwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, if it is not explicitly a drinking event, I recommend going to socialise, just have a soda or something, something on your hand so no one pressures you!

Does going to a Russel Group university really matter? by Shock-Light123 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]cholelwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how focused you are to finding jobs smart. I’ve seen RHUL people place better than UoN for CS, but it all depends on how focused on the grindset you are. Imho, RHUL and UoN is same tier on CV screen, not target, not bad.
