What is actually happening out there

To me two issues

Post study work visas are artificially distorting the jobs market

I honestly think it's all crazy. We haven't had a proper grad market in our country since the recession but we've brought in so many people to come and do Mickey mouse courses (unofficially sold as residency schemes)and then wondered as they've all spammed job boards in a desperate attempt not to lose money overall.

On top of that American corporates who are very rapacious and not willing to invest in British workers are just not hiring.

I can't speak for anyone else but my last company was making redundancies. Years of hiring incompetent people, people egging openly for promotion despite not having a clue have hollowed out my last company

Anyone else have a feel on the ground?
