As long as the rate is right and is not one of the consultancies/indian agencies/ dinky startups I don’t give a flying f***.

A few years ago I had the chance of a really good role with BAT, over market rates, excellent piece of work. I rejected it, as apparently was everyone else. There are some companies that don't look good on the CV and for me BAT is one of them.

I reject gambling and payday loan businesses at the start.

I can see BAT as a challenge I probably only take that if it was the only offer.

Way back in the mid 90's when I was in my final year at Uni I failed the graduate scheme interview at BAT for not smoking in the interview!

Overall it has to make sense in the net pay. How I look at it, in broad terms, it has to be at least twice my monthly expenses. If the figures do not work out then It will be a poor business decision.

some roles might sound funny on the cv and we all know hiring managers can be a bit discriminarive but I would not mind a challenge for the right rate. It would be actually foulish not to consider.

I am keen atm to get the financial sector experience(PE) but overall through friends and acquaintances I know what it is about so not quite ideal. BUT a crypto trading role or opportunity to have exposure to that market I think would be more beneficial.

That made me chuckle .... wonder if that's still one of their criteria?

There was one Tobacco company out in West London in the 80's -which may have been BAT- who had a box of loose cigarettes on the reception desk that one could help yourself to

Some tobacco firms push ciggies to young people in poorer countries* to get them hooked young and hence keep their customer volumes. They can't do this in western countries, so they take advantage of lax regulation in these other countries which I find deplorable.

Not been offered a role in a payday loan Co. but I'd avoid them too. I'd be 50/50 on the betting Co's (see what I did there? )

* BAT may not be one of those companies, don't know, but I can't be part of an industry that does that. Talking to the agent at the time, I wasn't the only one with that view and even offering over market rates, and central London, they couldn't find anyone willing to take on the role.

Don't about that but inside the building, they had dispensers of packets of smokes that you could help yourself to. There were a few on every floor as I remember from being shown around on interview day.

I happen to like some of Bjork's music.

Have you heard her early stuff when she was in The Sugarcubes? Worth a find if you haven't.
