I’ve secured 3 Skilled Worker visa sponsorships in 4 years. Happy to answer questions
Hi all, as the title suggests, over the last 4+ years, I’ve somehow managed to secure three different Skilled Worker visa sponsorships in the UK. During that time, I’ve had a few people reach out asking about switching employers while on a Skilled Worker visa, or even general questions regarding job hunting, what the sponsorship process actually looks like, etc.
I have received a lot of help from this sub during the last 4+ years so I thought I’d put this post together in case my experience can help someone who is currently on a similar journey.
A bit about my journey:
- Switched directly from a Student visa to a Skilled Worker visa in 2021.
- Moved to a large corporation in 2024.
- Was headhunted for my current role end of 2025.
- Currently working as a Product Manager at a scale-up.
I’m definitely not an immigration or a career expert, but I’m happy to share what worked for me. So if you’ve got any questions, just drop them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.
