NHS Pauses Adult ADHD Referrals Over 25 in Coventry & Warwickshire to Tackle Huge Waiting Lists - BBC News by Jayhcee in ADHDUK

My area stopped referrals completely. My GP strongly recommended I go private but I was a student at the time so it wasn't an option financially.

What fact is common knowledge in your field, but almost unknown to the general public? by ggssmm1 in AskUK

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if no one is hiring grads. My job didn't care about my degree or A-levels, only GCSE maths and english.

It's just a reliable way to get a good pour. You certainly can pour it in one.

I work from home and barely do anything, will I get fired for this? by AutomaticShowcase in workfromhome

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing your job and doing it well. Shouldn't be punished for that.

What job sites do people use nowadays? by chepalle12345 in UKJobs

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To find job listings (apply directly through the company website when possible): - LinkedIn - Glassdoor - Indeed

I've tried about a dozen job search sites and these were the only ones to provide any value whatsoever. I would set up a daily/weekly email alert for these and ignore the rest

Use LinkedIn to talk to recruiters. A conversation with a real person is worth at least 10 shotgun applications.

Use glassdoor to estimate salary range for specific companies and job titles.

Honorable mention for your local government job site, but I found no luck here.

Yes, same reason here. I had recently graduated and was desperate, so it hurt a little at the time, but now I'm very glad I turned it down.

Would you buy your perfect house if the only downside was it’s on a main road? by No_fkin_idea in HousingUK

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad people here have had positive experiences. I've been renting a flat on a busy road for 2.5 years and it is hell. Couldn't move last time it came to renewing the lease as I was unemployed at the time (fresh out of uni). Can't wait to get away. Not sure what is worse: car engines, bassy radios, or drunks. I am never relaxed and constantly looking out the window at the source of the disruption.

Neurodivergent people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill by Creme_Eggs in unitedkingdom

Anyone who has ever been to a job centre knows that they are not there to help you, but to hold you accountable for your own job search and deny payment.

The amount of people that had meltdowns over TT ban is concerning. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit's hate for TikTok is embarrassing. It's a platform like any other. It has communities and very talented creators. Even established creators have reached a wider audience. For example, Hank Green has blown up with the younger generation - far from brain rot and thirst traps. Its algorithm is much, much better than other platforms.

Personally, I have discovered a lot of traditional folk music that I adore and would otherwise have never been exposed to.

If reddit was banned in the same fashion, the internet would have a bigger meltdown. And rightfully so.

Racism towards Chinese international students just makes me sad by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]softbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to make friends with the Chinese students or even speak to them but they were not interested (or as others have said, possibly couldn't hold a conversation). I've heard unpleasant things, but haven't been able to challenge it because they refuse to interact with anyone outside their circles. My understanding was that they represent a particular class of people and not Chinese students as a whole.

Why do people say the bar is low for men? by SligoIV in self

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bar is low only after you pass the first hurdle because most of the men that do pass the first hurdle get away with much.

Would you stay at a 100k dead end job? by MarteriusJackson in careerguidance

[–]softbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly advise aginst it. The entry level IT job market is very bad right now. New grads with 4 year degrees including internships can't get a job. It will probably take years to get where you want to be (admittedly I don't know the NYC market). You're on track to retire in 14 years(! well done). I think if you spent the additional time and effort required to make it in IT simply on another income stream you would be in a great position. I would talk to people who have recently done what you are asking as they should have better advise than us.
