Either way you are reliant on somebody else doing this for you, rather than finding another job yourself. It sounds a bit unnecessary to me, it is not that you get much dole money (or at all? maybe you get nothing at all w/o IRL) anyway.
It helps that my role was pretty specialised so not too hard to the get the visa in the first place. For all job changes I was up front about the need to transfer the visa and no one batted an eye. It was only £1500 and I saved them a fortune in recruitment fees by being referred by previous bosses.
One of the conditions of the visa are that you are not entitled to public benefits. You are ineligible for anything apart from the NHS.

Ah ok tx maybe it is not as "bad" as I thought?
Somebody I was talking to came in for a job 2 years ago, they said it is OK but not what they expected. They told me they cannot change jobs until they are here for 5 years.
But maybe the problem is then that nobody wants to pay for the sponsorship transfer? I can ask them what is going on.
