Hi All,

Hi, i know there are many posts about visas but i cant find any information to answer the specific question i have.
I will be applying for a Tier 5 Visa to the UK. I am aware i will need to have around the equivalent of 1600 pounds in my account. What i can't find very clear information on is what exactly they want to know about this money. I had my uncle transfer a lump sum from an account that actually is my inheritance but is not in my name. I was then told that this will not be accepted as…

Not sure where to post this but I thought given that some people may have been through this before moving on to pastures new and further afield they may have experienced something similar and be able to relate to it.
There was an interesting article in The Guardian today about people in their 20's / early 30's that experience 'quarterlife crises' from too much pressure and feeling trapped in their careers and basically from the change of being a student to becoming a professional. The article…

Ok, just received a communication from the guys in Cork who want me to work for them. They've asked what my rate would be given that they would cover travel and accommodation for a 3 month contract.

Are any of you Engineering Professionals of know an Expat Engineering Professional who would have a good idea of what a proper rate should be? In the US I…

Were you given frequent work? Or did you have to find an alternative job?
Where in Queensland did you find it easiest/best to pick up supply?
Were…
I need to transfer a sum of close to AUD 6 figures to Russia. The problem is that banks and money changers in Aust are fantastically greedy, with spreads of several percent.

Hi, All--
Until recently I worked as a SW engineer in the US, and I am interested in working abroad in Malaysia. Are there job boards, websites, or recruiting places you'd recommend where I can find a job in tech? Visa issues aren't a problem for me. Thanks in advance!
