International students getting a job in the UK after finishing your undergraduate

Depends what area of work you are looking at i suppose. Some jobs/areas of work are more competitive than others.

I agree but what companies do you think are more wiling to give out visa sponsorship? Cause I know some companies won't even bother considering international students even though they're very experienced because it'll cost them too much to pay 15 grand to the government every year and the paperwork is just awful

Id say you are more likely to get success with the bigger companies.

It's extremely difficult to find any sort of graduate job right now, international or not. You only have 18 months post-graduation to secure a job and hope and pray that you can then stay on a Skilled Worker visa which is either £25,000 salary for education/healthcare, which is doable. But it's £41,700 for most other jobs which unless you're going into high finance or land a grad scheme at a bank, probably won't happen in 18 months.
Then factor in the additional costs to a business to sponsor an international student instead of picking one of the thousands of home grads they do not need to do that for.

Indeed, the odds are not in favour of most international students and the job market literally anywhere is really awful right now. But, just like most international students, I do not wish to return back to my home country, if forced to, I'd want to only be back for less than a year and go out again. Seeking a job out of the country (outside of home country and UK) is a challenge in itself, that's why some tend to immediately pursue their postgraduate degree after graduating with a bachelors, but what's ideal to me is getting work experience and becoming financially stable first than paying for a degree that you might not even use (plus the accommodation and living costs)... I'm only in my first year of undergraduate myself but if I were to give advice to other students it'd probably be: 1. Maximise experience 2. Don’t tie your worth to one country’s visa system 3. Stay mobile and take every single opportunity you can 4. Take calculated risks. How about you @quietmodule41 ? What do you think/any realistic advice/any other insight you wanna share on this thread? Thank you!
