I don’t see how it makes a difference. All the rules and requirements are clear. There were never exceptions before and there won’t be now.
yes, you will be the sponsor for a spouse visa, so you need the savings or income and be able to prove them. you will need at least 6 months of payslips showing you earn above the threshold, so after getting a job you will need to hold it down for longer than 6 months before you apply. i went through all this in the other thread.
