That was my thought: I studied a PhD in the UK and left several years ago (I am not form the EU).
Looking at this point system seems that it will be easier for me to get into the UK:
- STEM PHD (Comp. Sci) 20
- More than 25 GBP (I would look for a Sr./Tech Lead or managerial position) 20
- English speaking (well... I did write a PhD thesis in English so I try my best haha) 10
- Job at appropriate skill level: That reads subjective but I assume it will be easy to confirm 20
- Job in Shortage Occupation: 2136 Programmers and software development professionals: 20
So it seems that I would cover the 70 points even without a job offer. Now I only need to find the right company.
I guess I "like" this system because it looks skewed towards people with my profile.
- felipeerias 7y agoMy post was about the weird feeling of walking down a path and shortly afterwards seeing it carried away by a sudden landslide. I took steps and lived my life without realising that the ground was about to shift just under where my feet had been. Nowadays, if I wanted, I would be able to move to the UK as well. Would I do it? Probably not. It’s sad, but I wouldn't want to go back to a place that is becoming more and more unwelcoming.
