I'm in this boat....its not fun. I have two jobs that more than supplement the shortfall we have due to my husband being forced to change jobs and take a pay cut, but both are on a casual basis so we have no idea if the home office will accept it as they do not provide "secured future income." (I've gotten differing advice on the situation.) We've been trying to find a solution since April, but no luck so far. We now have till about May for me to find a permanent job or my husband to find a second permanent income because I apply for ILR in Jan 2020. It is not a fun thing to do in the Brexit economy as jobs are getting tighter and I have found there is very obvious bias against immigrants. Post-Brexit will be even worse. My advice to you....if you can get a secured job in your career field then that's wonderful. If it does not seem like it though, take whatever permanent job you get that meets the requirement. That way, if your sponsor does get made redundant - and I see a lot of people made redundant every year - your salary will be a back up. My husband stayed in his job for almost a year after it became unbearable just to get us through FLR(M), and he is still suffering from the hell they put him through.
Its absolute crap that the UK Gov basically says that for five years, you cannot have hard times. Everyone goes through hard times.
