  • nice!! I moved back from Toronto in January after 4 and a half years. Oxfordshire is beautiful. Only been once but I loved it down there. by Taeolian (Sat 26th Sep 2020 5:14pm)
  • Thanks everyone. I'm getting that the general consensus here is that it's a little steep but not significantly so. Still having a think about it but I value everyone's comments here. Cheers. by Taeolian (Mon 26th Jul 2021 2:12pm)
  • I'm a first time buyer. Just going through all the paperwork right now with the Solicitor. Nearing the end of it thankfully. It's a 2 bedroom flat in the Merchant City. Offers over 165k, Home report value 175k. I got it for 180k. Not too bad I guess given some people's experiences. Hope you find something soon! by Taeolian (Fri 22nd Oct 2021 9:57pm)
  • Same here! Although I only viewed around 5 or 6 places first. But this was the first place I put an offer on. by Taeolian (Sat 23rd Oct 2021 10:11am)
  • Bloody hell. I've been plain sailing right up until recently. Which is near enough the end right before the missives should be concluded. The proof of funds part. Needing to provide bank statements from when I lived in Canada. Not had a bank account in Canada for over a year. Totally killed the momentum of everything and I see things getting delayed now because of it. Meant to get the keys next week and been waiting since the start of the month for those bank statements from Canada. by Taeolian (Sat 23rd Oct 2021 10:16am)

  • I am 34 and make £58,000. After my probation though it should be going to £60,000 per year. I work as a DevOps Engineer (mid level). Been in the field for about 2 and a half years. Before that I was working mostly Helpdesk support type roles. by Taeolian (Sun 14th May 2023 11:00am)
  • It was a sort of gradual progression tbh. I started off Customer service, then a broadband ISP tech support agent, then a 1st level support engineer for a while, then I started branching off a bit to more interesting things. So On-Prem Exchange management, and learned PowerShell. Then a Support analyst managing Citrix, then an Infrastructure Engineer. By that point was on 29k (in 2020). Then, my boss left and got a job as head of DevOps at another place. He got me a job there, and I was still on the low 30s in terms of salary, but I hadn't a clue what I was doing. It was just a steep learning curve for almost a year. But then things started getting easier. Went from 32 to 38k then to 52k at that job within 1 and a half years. Then recently applied for this other DevOps role. Currently on my 2nd week of training at the new company. Similar tech stack in some areas, but still need to train in some areas. I know that's a long reply, but to summarise, I learned on the job and just jumped right into a DevOps role from a more traditional Windows Server Admin/Infrastructure engineer background. ​ It was easier because I was hired by an ex manager so there wasn't much of an interview process. I worked my ass off though to understand everything because all my previous experience was next to useless (going from Windows to Linux and learning about DevOps concepts like Version control, etc.). It helped it was during lockdown so I didn't have much else to do besides work and study. by Taeolian (Mon 15th May 2023 1:10pm)
