Global Talent Visa 又稱作全球人才簽證，這張簽證類似於台灣的就業金卡，主要是英國政府用來吸引海外人才所設置的簽證。相較於 T5 打工度假簽 (Youth Mobility Scheme Visa) 、T2 工作簽 (Skilled Worker visa)，Global Talent Visa 有以下的好處:
1. 由政府發放簽證，不需要公司贊助就可以留在英國

在申請過程中難免自我懷疑為什麼要申請，但現在回想起來，Global Talent Visa 沒有人數限制，全年都可以申請，不看財力證明、不用先找好工作，效期長又有工作自主權，對於專業工作者是非常值得的。
我搬到倫敦已經 3 個月了，在適應新環境的同時，也接觸到了許多台灣不會有的就業機會;

@Meta
Segment Anything model w/ WebGPU is too good! we are able to remove backgrounds or isolate objects in less than 2 seconds 🪄
(Video is not sped up, + all processing is on client side)
Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) can now run in your browser w/ WebGPU (+ fp16), meaning up to 8x faster image encoding (10s → 1.25s)! 🤯⚡️
Video is not sped up! Everything runs 100% locally thanks to 🤗 Transformers.js and onnxruntime-web!

今年在申請英國 Global Talent Visa 過程中受到很多人的幫助，最近有想要往海外工作的朋友，推薦看看這篇文 ✨
三種不用拿到 offer 就可以到英國找工作的簽證
其中最特別的就是 Global Talent Visa :
- 在台灣工程師可申請
- 在英國拿工簽的人可申請
因裁員潮非常多人開始申請這種簽證
比起工簽有保障得多，不受雇主約束，要自由跳槽、離職、創業皆可，不用擔心臨時被解雇
