What visa you are on? and when is your ILR due?
The question is... to be or not to be....

You cannot go for self employment if your are on Workpermit or Tier 2. The option I see is to work overtime with the same company, if it is possible.

I know that you can't be self employed on Tier2 or WP. I didnt suggest that, however, I read that it is only your BASIC salary that will be considered, so no Overtime is allowed etc

Just asking if switching will make ILR eligibility better?

I am in the same situation, falling short of earning threshold. I was wondering if I ask my employer to give different job title on my letter, not sure if it would work thou.
