Hey Sarika, I am that silent viewer who started watching your uploads couple of years back when I was deciding on coming to UK for MEd in my late 40s, leaving behind absolutely settled and happy job life n family. Just for that long held dream and aspiration of studying here n also like any parent, give my daughter an opportunity to gain good higher education in future here. Well, it’s one year now. Completed my course with a distinction, earned lot of praise and admiration from my university and lecturers and my husband gained a good teaching position in school here almost instantly as his subject is mathematics and there seems to be a flood for teaching positions in this subject in Scotland. Even I got good offers immediately after finishing my course. So I consider myself very fortunate in this regard. People have been very supportive and good here to us. But all said, I cry multiple times a day as I miss home and parents terribly. I just can’t learn to live without the very things I felt annoyed of when in Delhi… that hustle bustle n people talking to you randomly 😊. Festivals and occasions were the worst to deal with. The warmth of family and friends is worth all the minor cumbersome things we face at home. I agree that challenges are everywhere, life is not a cakewalk here either. People here question us why did we leave our beautiful country. They feel that way about our home 😊. I am so torn apart now.. like a greedy person I want both the worlds 😍. But can’t bear to lose that ‘ Indian’ identity from me. I have come to realise now only how deeply n truly Indian I am. So I guess, this emotional struggle will go on n I will be fraught with such painful confusions for sometime. But one thing I have decided upon clearly is… I am going back home after few years after gaining new experience from here. Scotland is and was my dream since I was a young girl and it really is a beautiful wonderful place to live in but no place like home n my country ❤.
And hey… we share a common surname too 😊. Bahar aakar apne jaisa koi bhi dikh ya mil jata hai to khushi hazarguna ho jati hai. Wishing the very best to all who are pursuing their dreams here. May you all succeed n always be happy. Only advice is, just be very aware of your situation here…. Give your best n try all the avenues… but god forbid, if you ever feel that things are not working out for you as you planned… please don’t get lured or tempted in unlawful promises… going back home is not a failure or punishment. I think it’s way way better infact… in all respects. I am sharing this bcz I witnessed few cases first hand and felt that nothing is worth that risk n struggle n money. Thank you 🙏
Hey Madhavi . Thank u for taking time & writing just a long comment . I hope people will read & get inspired by your story . Yes going back is a personal choice & everyone can decide what is good or bad for them . All d best while u are here & also future . I am planning to visit Scotland sometime end of March , if u want to catch-up , do let me know - I will message everyone on my community tab & also on Instagram . Will be nice to meet as many of you can ❤️ Yes we both share same surname 😁😁. Which part of India do u belong to ?
Hey Sarika, meeting you would be great. Please do let me know whenever you plan your visit. My husband hails from Ayodhya, and lived in Lucknow till his higher education. I come from Siwan in Bihar but owing to my forces background, grew up in different cities all over India 😊.

As I am living in Uk i can say if you earn around 50k in India then please do not leave india . Uk is really expensive and it is hard to find a good job as competition is increased.
If you are coming in 40s its really difficult to migrate.. I came back to India after a year in uk.. For me India is best ❤️.. Except pollution all is good.. Parents festivals street food social circle weddings n not to forgot weather! Uk cold is really depressing
@@rinjujohnson9595 can understand that feeling, hence came back. With UK's increasing inflation and low salaries, doesn't make any sense to live alone in golden cage . With our own country offering really good salaries in IT and low inflation under Modi ji , its awesome ! Home is where heart is :)
@@YourKnowledgeBuddy agree..ek point apne miss kar dia ..Sarika ..domestic help ..India beats hands down UK on that parameter..kabhi bhi tension nahi leni ki ab bartan kon dhoyega ;-)..ya dishwasher mai kon lagayega :D
At present India is in better position good quality education easy available medical facility better roads world class airports when I heard about uk medical issues where people have to wait for months for doctor appointments it's terrible
I guess it depends on where you live in the UK . Where i live you can see the Dr within a week Non emergency . If it does become longer and you can't wait there walk-in surgeries but you have to wait in turn plus there's help lines .
Hi Sarika, this is really an interesting video .I work with one of the consulting firms and would say this that the pay package has increased substantially in India since 20 and also want to disagree with the work life balance point in UK .
Guys please do not make a decision to come to the UK. Since last year somewhere around May-2022 the cost of living crisis has been drastically increased, however the salaries are low and didn't increase in line with rise in the market prices and inflation. It's really really tough for the accommodation as the house rents are skyrocketing and you need to spend 60 percent of your salary only for the rents and you will be left out with peanuts (after paying tax and rent) as I told you salaries are very less here except for few IT roles like software developers Dev ops and data engineers and so..All the best to everyone who is planning to go abroad for education and jobs. Hope this might be helpful
Hi Sarika.. Appreciate your efforts and time in making informative videos on various topics. I am still trying to find a job here in pharmaceutical CRO's or companies after having 10 yrs of experience at IQVIA, India. I could find the recruitment is slow and not positive even though with good experience and skills and planning to go back to India by March if I don't find any...I regret the decision of moving to the UK especially this year with high inflation and cost of living crisis and less employment opportunities
Really good comparison Sarika. Not that I value section 1 but I myself believe in all points from section 3. We neglect those points very much but they are extremely important for a professional to be successful in his/her career. Which directly reflects in his/her private / home life. But again just like you, that’s my point of view. So I chose to stay in the UK. But I also understand and agree to the fact that india is growing very fast and will soon catch up with the rest of world.
Brilliant comprehensive comparison. But you mentioned there is low salary for Nurses and Care taker people. That should be compared with their Indian equivalent salary. So it’s either a match or UK is winner for sure.😄 Also traffic, public transportation and proximity to travelling to Europe is also the points can be added for UK i feel.🥳 Note: i am in the UK for last 9 months.😊
Dil ki baat kardi tumne dost . Can I have your number bhai , lagta hain I need to hear your story . U can email me if u are comfortable on YourKnowledgeBuddy@gmail.com
You're right about the energy prices. The price increase is double compared to previous years. I work as a cleaner in a football academy. And my wage is above the minimum salary. You can have roughly 15hrs free childcare which isn't too bad. Our NHS is crumbling this is because the British government isn't looking after it properly. Though I have been lucky in getting appointments more or less right away.
Hi, good comparison but you didn't include one very important point ...life for disabled people in both countries...UK is far ahead in terms of infra and policies and rights of disabled people...for me personally that's my only factor of staying here even if i miss my family, food and domestic help comfort...
I earn 1 lakh in Mumbai and saves 30 k after all emi and monthly expenses. My family including wife and 2 kids aged 8 and 6. Both r boys. So considering all this i don't think its a good choice come to UK. But suggestions welcome if its a good choice in longer term ? Also i am working as sales person and lonely earning person in home
Informative video. Kudos to you. I have a question. I heard that it will take 5 years to get UK PR but do we have to stay at UK continuously for 5 years without coming to India in between ?
Hi ma'am , I have one question. So I have got my dream job In Uk from India , 10 days before received the contract letter , which is signed n returned .. after that I didn't hear anything from them .. about COS. Signing contract paper means 100% confirmation for the job , right ? How long it takes to get COS... Please guide ..
signing an offer letter doesn't mean 100% guaranteed. If you get COS it's guaranteed. It will take around 1 day to max 4 months to get COS. Hope you will get soon.
Meanwhile my husband is struggling in getting a proper IT job in UK.. however though he gets call but qualifying for interview is a big headache here or we are nt sure of the process.
Hey he needs to practice STAR technique for U.K. interviews as the interview pattern is very different from India . I have interviewed 30 people & they all mentioned that . Ask your husband to watch that playlist called ‘ Interview with people who got Skilled visa’ .
Mam india and work culture there no relation.... Brits has ruled but Indians are treating each other as slave.. harsh reality... Wish they could have ruled 200 years more... you and your channel work is Amazing .. R E S P E C T
Hi miss sarika how've you been? Miss Sarika it's a request please make a video on those UK school teaching jobs opportunities who provide visa sponsorship as well, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
@@YourKnowledgeBuddy mam, you're the only who is deciding what weights 2 and what weights 5 or 3 or 1... The simplest calculation would be 0 and 1... if you find uk better then put 1 or 0 and then count... however, result won't change but do a fair calculation/pointing system...
But that’s what I am saying .., this is my way of calculation & this fits better in my head. Maybe your way of working is different which is totally ok . We all are not same & hence our ways of working will be different as well . I have given u pointers , u can do the calculation as per your wish . Why do u have to criticise my way of working ?
@@YourKnowledgeBuddy 👍👍 Not ur hater or troller BTW... but kese bhi calculate kare, uk k points zyada hi banne vale he... to try to make it simple. Anyways, it's a stupid logic in my opinion... baki video is however released and you'll definitely get good views. Baki suggestion lena na lena is ur take. All the best; keep doing gud work
My only point was that my way of explaining things may be different to yours . So instead of putting such comments , just use that pointer & use your calculation of 0 & 1 . I find 0 to 5 better & hence I used it to explain in that way … again there is no right or wrong way … as long as u got the message which I was trying to convey is more important rather than using scale 0 to 5 or 0 to 1 😁😁😁. No hard feelings bro - I got used to such messages now . I would have ignored it like I always do but thought of saying it out here today . All d best to u as well
@@YourKnowledgeBuddy yeah, but the Dutch people also speak English every time in my company. They are very friendly and will directly tell to you that I will speak with you in English as you are not comfortable with Dutch😅. Somehow learning language with my Dutch girlfriend day by day.
