      In all seriousness 80k without a bonus is crap. I would be looking for at least 100-120k basic with a 20% bonus. That's the norm.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          And if you are concerned about £800 on an £80k salary you've got an equally big problem. I'd be looking at rep of company, client base and its reputation on your CV rather more than a slight difference in price.

            WHS. My daughter's on more than that with her Saturday job. And she gets a bag of sweets when she meets her sales targets.

              Close to home? Cuts down on train journeys. With next years increases in train fairs I believe an away day weekly ticket is about £2000 so that can add up.

                      Thanks this is useful.

                      I'll never be able to get this with my experience. Oh wait I could continue contracting...

                      I could ask for the bonus in fish.
