What should I apply for exceptional talent visa or Promising. Guys i want a genuine true estimate of myself before I apply .
Am open to sharing any other detail incase you dm. I never wanted to flood the plartform
@FredrichK I believe Tech Nation is clear about pathways. So with your over 8 years experience, starting as a Software Engineer you can now decide which pathway aligns with your years of experience. But if you have career break or have worked in another type of work in between, then you can make it clear in your CV, LinkedIn, Personal statement and subtly in some evidence sets and then go for the pathway with lesser years of experience. Here is how Tech Nation states it
Exceptional Promise applicants are likely to have less than 5 years of experience in technology, but can have had a longer career in another type of work.

That’s thoughtful of you not wanting to flood the platform, but if you truly need support, you will be the one to reach out to experts on the forum. I am happy to have a look, if you can share them here. But for in-depth, tailored, private review, that is under my consultation service.
All the best.

The pathway you apply for as I said earlier, is dependent on your career history in terms of number of years in the mainstream tech sector. However, applicants with more than 5 years can still be eligible via the promise if they had some years in sectors that are not pure Tech or had career gap.
Your listed evidence look promising but to give a useful feedback, I need to see what you are submitting as evidence not just high level descriptions.
All the best.
ill send them let me compile them
Well, anything outside this main platform page where others can benefit becomes a paid consultation service.
If you are comfortable with that, I am happy to have a look.
It seems there was a misunderstanding. I only review evidence within this platform. Anything outside of it is handled exclusively through my consultation service.
can i apply for promise and be given exceptional i noticed it to one of the founders here. Confidence is a thing.
