Bloodbath in the City ...

Too busy with the squirrels?

Just got email from a recruiter about £100k role in the city with a hedge fund, and yesterday even a photo call from another one...

£100K ! I knew things were bad, but I didn't realize they were THAT BAD.

eek.

I'd rather have stable £50k pa from my business then a "job" for £100k - frankly I don't think I would get it since I am more of a hands on guy who gets the job done rather than bulltuliper.

One day you will learn to do both. The customer is always right etc.

Squirrel away!

Never heard of anyone turning down a £ 100k job. Not for a £ 50k one anyway.

Depends if the £100k is PAYE and therefore roughly 40% up in smoke, against 50k of dividends via your own company. A lot closer call that way.

Quiet. £100k is a permie job.

£ 100k gross = £ 65k net > £ 50k

You can't - they let sasguru go, so now he has no interenet access in his London bedsit.
