what should a software developer pick in the work/activity section?

[adithya_sama]

I am applying for a visitor visa and I have reached the education and work page. Am not sure what to select in the work/activity section. I am a software developer, I work for a product-based company which develops a cyber security product.

I have one more question, regarding the work section. what should I give in the address part of the work details? the HQ address or the address of the office branch I work in. what should I give if the branch is closed, as everybody is working from home.

1. An IT related role closest to your current work
2. Office address. You will be contacted via email

1. None of the ones given in the list describe anything close to what I do

1. Art, culture, recreation and sport occupations
2. Business, finance and administration occupations
3. Education, law and social, community and government services occupations
4. Government Position
5. Health occupations
6. Homemaker
7. Incarcerated
8. Management occupations
9. Manufacturing and utilities occupations
10. Natural and applied sciences and related occupations
11. Natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations
12. Retired
13. Sales and service occupations
14. Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations
15. Unemployed

my profession doesn't fall under any of the above. i work at a private cyber security company. i am a software developer.
So, can you please help me select the correct one?

2. My company rents shared workspaces for offices, and since covid we have stopped renting them. so what addres should i be giving.

I understand that the thread is two years old, but the information I provided still holds true. When completing your visitor visa application, it's essential to provide an accurate representation of your work as a software developer. In the work/activity section, you can mention that you were working for a product-based company specializing in cybersecurity at the time of the application. This description should help clarify your professional background to the visa authorities.

Market for software developers has gotten worse seen your last posts. Layoffs continue in the tech sector s employment may be very tough to find.

Sales and service occupations

Honestly, "Business, finance and administration" just feels too broad, right? It doesn't capture the specific skills you bring to the table.

Thinking out loud here, maybe something like "Information technology and computer occupations" could be a better fit? It at least steers them in the right direction. But ideally, we want to showcase our developer superpowers!

Perhaps if your experience leans towards project management or using tools like monday.com consultants, you could mention "Professional, scientific and technical services." That category seems to have more flexibility.
