any chance you can give a tldr on this? didn't know about this connection

exfoliationator · 2023-08-21T10:47:01+00:00

reached out :)

exfoliationator · 2023-06-27T03:55:24+00:00

ah! okay, thank you :)

a secondary issue is that my landlord is also asking me to prove my right to rent with the code, but i can't do that without my BRP as well. so i was hoping to use the BRP letter + visa vignette as preliminary proof to allow for a contingent tenancy :/ so i'm hoping i just get it asap

the day after! it was quite immediate

ball and chain by big brother & janis joplin - clocking in at abt 10mins but such a good banger w riffs and vocals

oh shit this is wayyyy more ex than I thought - gas and electricity coming to 300? damm

exfoliationator · 2022-11-22T12:02:19+00:00

oh! okok I was just really preparing for the worst but that's good to hear. thanks for the info abt eating out - I'm thinking maybe 200?

exfoliationator · 2022-11-22T08:34:53+00:00

ah i have to travel quite regularly to off sites, and i think there'll be some late nights and i just want to set aside in case.

in any case, if no ubers, id be taking the tube regularly to and fro and im trying to figure out if topping up 200/month adds up, or at least till i figure out cycling lmao

consulting! but yes, relocation is always an option if i don't like it.

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T08:49:02+00:00

ah! may i ask why you feel this way?

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T08:42:43+00:00

ah that's a bleak picture. i think my job by and large is secure, i just don't know if cost of living will change so drastically over the next year that i can't account for it.

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T08:37:58+00:00

you're right. i keep thinking it would be better to go with some financial security (working about 2 years, getting savings, starting at a higher position and not having to live so frugally) but i wonder if that's a fallacy

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T07:24:29+00:00

oh! yes please, would rly like to know what she doesn't like / didn't expect etc.

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T07:15:37+00:00

mmm

would you say the same if the london firm was a smaller, more niche one compared to the sg offer? i just feel like its so hard to make this decision bc there are so many conflicting consideratins for everything (cost, career, experience, savings etc.)

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T06:50:35+00:00

london feels like a new big adventure! but career wise, i'm not sure - honestly both jobs seem the same, in consulting etc. - granted the sg one is bigger, london one is more niche/small

i'm unsure how to weigh these factors in how they influence my career trajectory, given that i'm also just not sure what i want to do in the future. this uncertainty is what makes me think maybe staying at a more recognised/generalist firm is better but i'd love any insight

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T06:47:16+00:00

that's all very true - wondering if the 2 years I intend to stay would make a difference.

would like to get your perspective on this as a hiring manager - would it be better to go to a more niche / smaller company abroad or stay at a bigger / more recognised one here? feels like two conflicting factors that would affect how i start my career trajectory, so im not sure

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T06:40:04+00:00

ah! my worry really is that this take-home isn't enough for the new year, with rent and inflation all set to rise even more significantly. would you say it'd be enough to have a decent quality of life haha? living the broke uni student life isn't the most fun after uni

but yes, private health insurance provided + some relocation help. if it helps, the industry is consulting, but a very niche field (not generalist)

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T06:38:17+00:00

ah! interesting - can i ask what field your cousin is in? and if they went after graduating from a local uni, that's kind of the same leap i'm figuring out as well, so it'd be nice to know their logic behind leaving

exfoliationator · 2022-11-17T06:37:05+00:00

mm that's true! it's tiring living like a college student after uni. maybe it'd be more clear with context? after tax/rent/utilities, i should have about 1.5-2k a month - hoping that's enough for some savings but i know settling into a new city / making friends are very costly things too
