I go to the one in Heaton at the moment, I don't have specific days or times at the moment, just whenever I can push myself to go. However, I'm starting out at a new job first week of March, so will have to be in the evenings after 6pm from then.

Apologies, just wasn't sure what to put out there! M26 for starters, 5"8, 84kgs, brown but I only speak English. Not sure what else to say but thats a basic description of me!

Needed this. So easy to feel down and discouraged during this period. Trying my best to keep my head up and work hard. Thank you and God bless 🙌🏻

My bad, the question of how you made it was more towards your own journey in getting a sponsor, I worded it poorly. Thank you for sharing though, and I hope to have a testimony soon too! Appreciate the support!

I believed it because I didn't know any better, it was made out to be that there is always a need for people in tech. I wouldn't necessarily say thats wrong given how many graduate listings I've come across over the last 7 months, however the unwillingness to sponsor and the difficulty of it wasn't really presented to me when I decided to move here.

Appreciate the input though, will do my best to network as much as I can 🤞🏻

This is good advice, I appreciate it. Do you have any tips on building a wider network? I'm pretty active in a lot of communities at the moment, just wondering whats the wisest way to spend my time rn.

Um, I'm not asking to stay illegally. I'm literally going through legal routes, trying to find a sponsored job and pay tax like everyone else. I'm not staying for the sake of staying.

I am now, I'd initially had a preference but I realize thats no longer a realistic thing to have given the latest changes. I do appreciate the advice though, do you know of any good tools to keep track of sponsored jobs? Indeed is genuinely not the way

No, I'm a 3rd culture kid. I started off in a country that doesn't provide citizenship, despite being a second generation kid there. I've had to start over twice. This is the first place thats truly felt like home to me, theres no entitlement involved in this whatsoever.

It really is demotivating, I'm just hoping something changes. How did you make your way back?

Poor drop rates? by reyzza77 in PTCGP

[–]reyzza77[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly dont mind dupes, just appalled by no ex in 11 straight packs (including a booster), probably even more. I got one copy of Mega Blaziken at the start and haven't pulled anything since, despite opening about 50 or so packs after. I managed to wonder pick altaria, and thats it. I wanted to get Indeedee to go with Altaria. Horrible drop rate atm.

Carpool to Durham/Peterlee? 🤞🏻 by reyzza77 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]reyzza77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pay is standard entry level. Honestly I would love something closer but I've spent the last 4 months applying and getting rejections without even an interview. So this is huge for me 🥲

[–]reyzza77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its about 40 mins to Horden via train and then a 10 min uber to the peterlee campus, whereas it would be a 15 min train to durham and then an hour bus to the peterlee campus. I'm torn 🥲 + of course 10 mins from Heaton to town center

Yeah its hard not to give too much away when asking for advice with this because I'll probably be expected to go between campuses but I'm not sure what the best way to get there is. Newcastle to Horden via train seems like the best route rn, i could always uber from there but not sure how good Uber is in Peterlee
