The Employment Gold Card Super-Thread

Hi there! Glad to see I’ll have some companions while I wait in fear for my application to go through!

I applied last week (16/03/2021) under the Science & Technology qualification. Got a fright this morning realising that according to some blog posts from last year I should have applied under the Economics field… and then was relieved when I found this thread. Seems like I did the right thing in the end.

My profile:

  • 8 yrs of experience as a Software/AI Engineer
  • Have a few 5+ degrees but no PhD
  • I barely qualify for the salary requirement, depending on how much taxes they take into account before counting the gross income
  • Have two patents under my name, which I provided along with my CV (I really thought that’d be enough, what a noob)
  • I’m French

Hopefully that’ll do!
