Some of my friends in H1 got some jobs recently after a long search of more than 6 months. But coming to Tier-1 there is a rumour that only british employees are given priority compared to Tier-1 or HSMP guys? Is this true? Also I believe getting a job in US will be easier than UK?
herts that's true without being in uk no proper response. But still i am not getting clear picture which are the right months for ex: in india between Jan and april is the perfect start for job search as march-april is the fin year so i am clear now that oct to dec is not the right time as it is chr...

My understanding is that Instead of fulltime study you can do a partime study and work full time. So you can prove that you are economically active and you get a degree too. is this a good option?

it is same here as if i have exp in mainframe with db2 and have even worked in SQL server so oracle or sql server developer jobs will not make much diff if we have worked in any one of the RDBMS. Pls advise.
