Newcastle is just a little bit north of where I am. I'm happy to send you my CV, do you have an email?

I got my previous degree in 2016 but I really don't want to do anything related to my previous degree unless it is in robotics/ autonomous systems because it is now mostly software driven unlike in the past.

I reckon you should give London a try as most tech jobs are in that area. Obviously there are some in other parts of the uk, but demand being so high in london there is a good chance you will find one there. Try cwjobs.co.uk and monster.co.uk. Good luck!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your advice.

I agree that there are more jobs in London, and they can certainly be more prestigious, like Facebook, Google, or Monzo.

However, Newcastle is much cheaper so you'd be able to afford a generally better lifestyle that might make you feel more comfortable and happy. For example, a nicer apartment that you don't have to share, more cash to save for a rainy day, etc.

Indeed London is much more expensive. I left the city for that reason myself, but probably for a year or two career wise it might be great. Long term, I fully agree with you re nicer apartment and more cash.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. What you say is correct and a great idea.

I'd second that: work in a large company or a startup (if that interests you) in London for a couple of years to learn the ropes and build your career.

Then the world (or the North East) is your oyster. Or course, it's always difficult to move once you've settled down, even in London.

I thought Newcastle might be near you!

Of course. I'm Jay, and have updated my profile to include my email.

That's good to know and sounds like it was a good degree.
