Hi fishers! I have offer and signed contract with Deloitte UK and my start day is in the beginning of April. I need skilled worker visa, and we haven’t applied yet for that. Screening and onboarding is in progress. Immigration team doesn’t reply since reached me out 1st time. How much time does it usually needed to go through the whole process? How many days take for visa to be approved since application?Deloitte
What is the culture like, type of work and reputation of Capco in the Data & Analytics space?
I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.
I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.
TIA
Does anybody know if you can switch employer on sponsorship?from outside UK
My situation:I have filled visa and waiting for it from few weeks with company A and don’t want to join then because I have better offer from company B. Company B wants me to withdraw my visa application so they can file a new one for me and they r telling me they can’t generate my CoS until I withdraw application.How shall I withdraw my visa until I don’t even have CoS from company B??

I would say be honest with them. Think about it like this…best case scenario is you lie and end up getting more money…worst case scenario is you lie, they potentially find out by asking for your previous payslips and they view you differently even before you start. Not a good look on your character and it scars the rest of your journey at the new firm 🤷♂️
Then again, no risk no reward lol
This is horrible advice. A firm will never ask for your payslips
Yes, always inflate by 5-7%. They’ll likely give you at most 5k more than what you have so use that wisely.
I think worth being careful with inflating bonus if they ask for evidence of last year's bonus (particularly within the context of new firm buying out bonus you'd be forfeiting if leaving close to payout time, by matching prior year's bonus as benchmark) but this is case by case type of thing. I dont see how that would apply to salary in the same way so theres room for inflating if its within reasonable known range
How can you inflate? Most ask for P45 later from previous employer.
But it will be the same HR that you negotiated the salary with. I suppose it is industry and org specific but my partner was asked for this on their start day

Do not give your current. Give the range for other roles you are interviewing for. Never give your current salary because they will hold you there. I agree with not lying but leverage the data you have about salaries for the role within the market and position what you want on this basis.
