Thank you!

I am thinking if I get a London role I will take it 100%. If I get Manchester I will have to weigh up the two some more.

Can I ask - did you use to live in London? Is it feasible for two 18yos to rent together in a not shit place for like £2000 a month? I'm not really familiar with the city

I’m from the US so I can’t advise on costs in London. But I did pull down a two pounds a night in East Acton at a place called Tent City in the late 80’s. I do not recommend it.

I think managing debt load is important. After you get skills, you can go the contracting route and double your salary. Those things are easier to do when you are younger, can take risks, and are not constrained w debt.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it =)
