Salary is 24K + 4K initially, it is an online media agency. since i am not a tech guy, i think this is not a bad start.
it is surprising that HR didnt even ask to see my passport when I started! She just took my National Insurance number (that i had taken long time ago as an int student) and bank details! So I didnt hassle, as they wouldnt know much about hsmp
and yesterday, I have found a big double room in a nice area (highbury), paying 500 pm all inclusive. guys, housing is nightmare in london, too expensive! so i am planning to do some extra work maybe.
By the way, is it ok if I keep using NI number that I had taken when I was student? or shall I inform the tax office about change in my visa status, as probably i am still an int student in their records.
