    Happy for you guys ❤️ some bad situations have a way of just propelling us to greater heights. I’m in the UK a year now, leaving SA to join hubby, leaving my place of comfort and all, into this new adventure. Best decision of my life, grateful to God for it all. Enjoy every moment 😇🙌🏻👏🙏

    Emigration is generally not easy... In my humble opinion, sometimes things are best left alone.. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence..

    • @TheMasekos
      @TheMasekos  7 месяцев назад +2

      Totally agree with you about the grass not always greener on the other side. Having said that, we were just sharing what we have come across in our experience. It's not perfect, granted, but for us, it has been a little greener. Of course, that is not always the case with other people . But we are unable to account for that.

    Hey guys, Wow your story resonates with me so much in more ways than one. My wife is in the same profession, and we are also considering moving to the UK. Please share some advice for us

    • @TheMasekos
      @TheMasekos  7 месяцев назад

      Hey bro, thank you for the feedback. We're happy to learn that our story has the capacity to influence other people's lives. We're in this journey ourselves, and we're keen to share what we learn ourselves.
      I think it is a good thing to be contemplating this. The UK does have a huge demand for people in that profession.
      For you though, it might be a bit challenging to find a permanent job this side. It's a very common theme that we've heard and also experiencing, but there are people who do find permanent jobs they want even though they are on a dependent visa. It is just not as common as the former.
      But hey, give it some thought. We have shared quite a bit on the pros and cons of it. Discuss it with your family and if you do wish to get in touch to find out other things we might not have given detail on in the videos then let us know. We're always here to help

    A question for Sis’ Mimi
    I am a young professional in the Finance and Investment industry, do you know how i could go about applying for opportunities jn the UK or other international companies?
    Thanks ❤

      @TheMasekos  7 месяцев назад +2

      Hi Ongie,
      So sorry you can relate to a toxic work environment. It really shouldn’t be the case, but ey we live in the world.
      As for finding UK opportunities, I would suggest having a LinkedIn profile as a lot of recruiters like Blue Recruiting, Gap Talent, etc are there. Reach out and let them know you’re in the market.
