so i'm really overwhelmed with all of your love and the best wishes which i got
during my graduation vlog everyone was saying congratulations i posted some videos on instagram
make sure you follow me on instagram because there i uploaded more of the pictures which are
not available on youtube so like i've also put a highlight on instagram so you can definitely
watch that all stuff i can just see through your kind messages that you're really supportive for
me and now i want to talk about and most of you would be wondering that now well justin has came
first in his university he has called all those awards he has graduated i've got the master's
degree everything is good what i'll be doing next what will be my plans and this is what like many
international students would be facing or even the uk students would be facing once they've graduated
that what you will do next what will be your next step now like this thing i started thinking when i
was on my placement and i it was like basically last to last year yeah so year fourth so it was
in 2020 when i started thinking about what will i be doing after finishing my university
so during that time there was post study work visa now for international students uh basically
they need to come on a post study work visa basically they can work on sponsored for two years
and everyone guessed that post early work visa but you need to pay about two thousand one thousand
two thousand pound and you get that psw and you actually look for a job where a company
can sponsor an international student so that you can get a skilled worker visa so like most
students take this route that they go on a psw then they start looking for a sponsored job
if they get a sponsored job they do a work in a company or otherwise they go back to india
so like this was the situation like i was having like this for sure option that i've got a posted
work visa it was quite relaxing like it just gives you a peace of mind because otherwise
before 2019 there wasn't a posted work visa so so once the student has done their masters basically
the situation which i am right now they had to go back because they have just got like one or two
months extra if they couldn't find a job a company which can sponsor them they have to go back so it
was a really kind of relief for me that i've got a post study work visa and the other thing which i
started thinking during my placement was so there was one good thing about placement that they used
to do internal company assessments and and like this was my ambition that like i have to perform
really really well in those assignments so when i joined the university they said me like after
the end of your internship if you successfully did your internship like you've delivered all the key
goals of your project work you'll be getting something called recommendation to hire basically
that means that like after graduating from the university you can work again in any location
like whether it's uk germany you can work anywhere essentially so i was actually aiming for that so
when i started my internship in the month of july i was having this ambition that i have to perform
really really well and i still remember that i got my very so they do three different reviews and
my first review i was expecting oh well i've done all good so i'll be getting like five out of five
right but it was really bad the first review was really really bad i just scored i think two out
of five so i lagged a lot but my supervisor of that company was really really helpful
he guided me the right direction that where you have to actually target focus like he gave me that
direction and that's the that's that's the key role of a mentor in your life and and i actually
think like he's my mentor and he kind of guided me and directed me in the right direction and during
my third review i actually got a recommendation to hire and now not everyone gets a recommendation
higher so in my back there were about 20 students and i guess only two or three students got this
this thing called recommendation to hire so most of them like didn't got this thing so
i got recommendation to hire again so i was at the peace of mind that i can work with the company
where i did my placement after doing my graduation so i was having the second option the first option
was my post study work visa which everyone anyways get it the second one was that i can actually work
with procter gamble after graduation so this was a really great news for me and a big achievement now
the third thing which i was talking to my parents now my parents suggested me instead of doing a job
after your master's you should actually look for a phd they sent me that like you've got
a good flow of your studies so you don't want to break that flow and you if you do your phd you're
done with all of your studies and then you start looking for a job now i i actually like uh i took
their advice i said okay why not uh like at that time i was interested in pharmaceuticals and in
pharmaceuticals maybe like masters maybe it's enough but like not enough because like if you
only do masters you don't have enough experience you go out the experience of only a one year
placement and mainly i've seen companies asking for at least a two year of experience in the uk
so so that time i said like okay well phd is a good opportunity here i can work in the lab
i can learn how to do how the chemistry works i can get practical experience at the university
yes you get practical experience but most of it is also dependent upon like how you perform in your
universe you have to go to lectures and stuff so so that that kind of practical experience is
something which i was looking for and i thought okay well phd sounds really nice i had to go for
a phd so when i did when i started my final year of the university i talked to my professor and he
actually offered me a position and we applied for one of the studentship uh basically if i was able
to get the student ship my tuition fee which was around uh 20 to 25 000 pound per year for
my phd so phd here is for generally three to four years so so basically we applied for the students
here my professor applied on my behalf for the studentship and i'm really happy to like this is
the first time i'm telling to my audience that i was able to get this friendship so still i've
got that friendship with me so it's my it's like my decision that i i need i want it or not right
so i've got a certain shape basically my all 20 to 25 000 pound will be paid by the university itself
now secondly in terms of stipend like again i've called it all things sorted out so basically i've
got a fully funded phd that's what i'm what that's what i'm trying to say you guys right i've got a
fully funded phd and that is at the university of strathclyde just behind me i can see a lot of
people graduating today really nice day everything is training as well but yeah i've got my phd at
university of strathclyde so basically at this time moment i've got three different
options just to summarize the very first one is a posterior work visa so after you complete your
master's or undergraduate anyways an international student gets the two year to stay more in the uk
and after that they can that's the two years to look for a sponsored job that's the first option
second option is to get a job the graduate job in the company where i did my placement
and i think they can sponsor me for sure so like this is the second option that i don't need to go
on a post-study work visa rather the company can straight away sponsor me so this is the second
option and the third option in my hand is the phd which already have called the student ship and of
course the stipend ready so the stipend in the uk will be around 15 to 20 000 pound so now it's
up to me like which which which of them i choose basically and the other fourth option which most
of the students like especially study in the uk do is they go to a different country for example they
move to canada because it kind of the laws are the immigration laws are not that strict they are
quite of relaxed and they are and it's easy to get permanent residency in the canada for example
so most of students who study in the uk they've got a good education they've bought they've got
everything and basically at canada they can easily get a job and they go to canada and basically
after i mean like whatever the time is i think two to three years they'll be able to get a permanent
residency i'm not expert in canada so it's not like expert advice at all it's just my own
personal opinion so this is another option which a lot of students take so now here in terms of my
own opinion that which of the three options which i'll be selecting i'm definitely not going to
canada right which you have learned so out of this three options i'm a bit confused about where to go
actually and this is where i want my audience help so i want you to comment down below that what will
be best for me i i just want to hear your opinion like what you guys saying and hopefully in my
next few videos i'm going to come up that what has been my final decision and i'll be updating
you really really soon so make sure you subscribe the channel is the most important thing you don't
want to miss any video on this channel itself now cheers we'll see you in my next video bye
