I have moved to the UK and for the past 3 months, I have been looking for jobs but all I am facing is rejection. I am losing motivation to apply for jobs like why bother.. I have CIMA qualification and over 10 years of experience in accounting and finance. I was a Finance Manager at my last job and I don't mind starting from Finance Assistant/Assistant Accountant roles but all everyone requires is UK experience and I don't know how to get UK experience if no one hires me.

I am facing the same hurdle since 6 months ago. Every rejection is because I have no UK experience but how do I have one if no company gives me a chance?

What if you start applying to entry level positions to gain experience? Possibly look for any courses that show you are committed to gaining UK experience and along the way network so that you can have professional references.

Today I won a raffle for an Omega SMP 300. To show my appreciation to the watch gods, I am letting my current diver, the legendary SKX009 go for the same price as my raffle ticket ($38, shipping included). If anyone is looking for this hugely popular piece (ideally a new collector), hit me up! Currently sized to a 6.75” wrist but comes with all links. All hail the watch gods!

10 years in the company where I started, working my way up from jr. analyst to present Manager M2 - Market and Tech Insights (5 levels), handling 2 major global tech/consulting clients. Next level is Sr. Manager.

I'm at Kolkata. Started off with 1.8LPA, currently around 11LPA. BTech+MBA. Always get scores of 4 out of 5 (exceeds expectations) KRA YoY and pointless praises about how well I managed projects, yada yada. I get good work-life balance.

Is this fair pay or am I exploited?
