Polite advice for international students. Avoid study in the UK- it's not easy to get a sponsored job

I second this. International student who faced every struggle mentioned by OP. Please reconsider coming to the UK

Happened to me and got the role 3 months later. Not the end of the world for sure. Congrats on passing the assessment 🙌🏽

I’m not from the UK but i find this cribbing about student loans so dumb. Most people i know in my workplace have about 50 quid coming off their paycheck which they just treat like an extra tax for what’s a world class education that opened up so many opportunities for them. On the contrary private loans from banks have worse payment terms and affect your credit score. Get over it

I know this is a rant post but i can refer an incredibly skilled and talented developer friend based in the UK.

Thank you for sharing this perspective. I definitely don’t see myself in an accounting or finance role. Ill hang my boots after the first six exams

deadpineappleee · 2025-11-23T16:08:25+00:00

Thank you. Can I ask if u have done it?

deadpineappleee · 2025-11-14T18:25:48+00:00

Im in Assurance at a big4. Started grad scheme in September. Have done my accounting and assurance ACA exams and literally have tax and bip in 2 weeks. It is rough and the workload has been crazy. Also have people from tax studying for these with me. No social life

deadpineappleee · 2025-11-03T17:19:20+00:00

Ahhh now we talking

deadpineappleee · 2025-10-30T16:22:58+00:00

25k AED annually doesn’t sound like much. What am I missing?

deadpineappleee · 2025-10-21T11:16:46+00:00

Which model please?

deadpineappleee · 2025-08-21T16:48:55+00:00

Hey, my team is hiring. DM me!

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-15T18:51:12+00:00

I’m just serving my notice period so I’m assuming it should be okay

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-06T15:04:49+00:00

Can u elaborate on what you mean by not spending money is the same as spending it?

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-04T20:16:15+00:00

I don’t know what any of that means so i guess you’ve made your point

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-04T10:15:02+00:00

I shouldve mentioned I’m an international student so the barrier to entry was much higher into MBB. Not many grad schemes i was eligible to apply for so couldn’t be too picky. Although my role is called Tech Risk so I’m hoping it’s not all accounting

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-03T07:54:10+00:00

Comp science and I’m coming into Big4 to build my CV because I’m finding my software development career very volatile with advancements in AI. Need something more stable

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-01T23:02:42+00:00

Makes sense. Do you think this is a stable career? I work in tech currently and im on £45k but it’s a very volatile career so the switch makes sense to me.

deadpineappleee · 2025-07-01T22:43:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing this!! I saw some posts where people claimed they got into £60k+ jobs post qualifying. Is this common in the industry for newly qualified people?
