Hi
I am a 39yo self employed offering IT support to clients (I'm a jack of all I.T. trades kind of guy) with no formal qualification - just many years of experience dating back to 1992.
Our family (wife & 3 kids) are planning on moving to the UK as soon as possible (we all have EU passports) - living here is becoming far too stressful (for many reasons that I won't go into) and we feel we need to get out of SA.
Now - a few questions:
- How is the IT job market over there?
- Are jobs readily available or would I have to go back to self employment...?
- Which areas should one consider moving to if in IT.
- My daughter is in highschool (grade 8), and my 2 boys are in grade 7 and grade 4 at present. What are the schools like over there (I know this is a very broad question - but if you have kids in school, what suggestions do you have as far as schooling goes)
As far as banking goes, we have approached first contact and are trying to get a Barclays account open from this side...
We won't have huge cash reserves when we get here - so I need to plan this move very carefully.
Any other comments / thoughts you may have regarding our move...
Thanks in advance...
Claudio
