My husband and I moved to the UK 2 yrs ago. He is a software developer with predominant experience in dot net. He worked in a startup (building websites and stuff) for 4-5yrs in our home country before moving here.
However, they didn’t have much success with the startup and he didn’t try to look for another job then. So career wise he’s been doing the same thing for the past 4yrs with not much development.
It’s been very difficult trying to find a job here in the UK with his experience and skills. Any advice on what he can do at this point in his career? Are there any certifications/courses he can pursue that would maximize his chances in the job market?
What I think the issue is that he doesn’t have in-depth knowledge in his tech stack and doesn’t have experience working in a structured way like the companies here would expect (eg. SDLC? He doesn’t know testing, AWS, cloud etc)
He used to be very innovate and worked on several AI/ML and AR? projects during uni around 2016-17. He has a diploma and a degree in computer science.
Sorry if there are mistakes, I’m not in tech
