Hi everyone,

I'm a senior civil engineer currently working in the UK, and my family and I are seriously considering a move to New Zealand.

Now that we have a family, we feel that the UK's approach to family life, support systems, and work-life balance doesn't quite align with the values we're looking for.

My partner lived in New Zealand for two years in her 20s and absolutely loved it. She has always spoken highly of how welcoming and friendly Kiwis are, as well as the strong sense of community and family-oriented culture. Ever since, she's wanted to return. Unfortunately, her profession isn't currently on the list of roles that qualify for visa sponsorship.

I'm curious to hear from people already living or working in New Zealand. What are the job prospects for an experienced civil engineer? Are companies willing to sponsor overseas candidates, and what are the realistic chances of relocating with my family?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

A work colleague asked me if I could look at an usb that many moons ago decided to quit. The usb can be connected to the pc and will behave the same in each laptop.

Plugs in and windows recognise that a usb have been plugged. However in the file explorer it’s greyed out, and says please insert usb.

No recovery software picks it up no disk manager or windows command have worked.

I decided to open the case and see if something was weird.

I have found that at the back on the usb it seems that something has gone! Resistance or something ? Is there anyway of figuring out if something meant to be there?

Does anyone know how to find the diagrams for a verbatim store n go v3 32gb?
