Another good rate...

How do you cope with your "OH" earning more than you expat?

I don't have a problem with that . At least I don't have to work so hard.

[DodgyAgent]

I'm sorry to be boring, but this is essentially a low to medium level clerical job, with no barrier to entry and no real responsibility that I can see, so I don't see any reason to expect higher pay than that.

By comparison: my OH works in a small company, turnover 5m, employs about 40. Entire admin staff is the Office Manager and the Admin assistant. The former does all Sage payroll, Sage Accounts, tax, etc. Salary £16,500 (that's less than £9 per hour). The assistant does clerical tasks and invoicing, and deputises for the office mgr: salary £11,000, less than £6 per hour.

That's the rate for clerical and admin jobs. Bog-standard SQL reports are closer to the bottom than the top of that range of skill and responsibility.

It is a fair point what everyone else says I churn out sql queries, turn em into reports and publish on a website with user selectable filters with one hand while PM'ing with the other.

Please don't disrespect burger flipping.

I don't disrespect any job and especially not any holder of a job.

McDonalds CEO Jim Skinner started out flipping burgers and last year received $3.9m remuneration. I don't think he disrespects burger flipping either.

But if you want to make good money then burger flipping or SQL coding is only a start. The bottom rung of the ladder is at the bottom.

All it really demands is ability to code elementary SQL. Anybody can learn that in a couple of hours at home, so it's about level with burger-flipping as a skill. There's certainly no barrier to entry, and that's what makes for a good rate.

Please don't disrespect burger flipping. I spent literally minutes in an indian bootcamp learning the skills necessary to turn out a decent big mac or indeed the many other fast food products I am an expert in.

I thought it was probably a better rate than the recent 6-7 quid ones Ive seen - somebody somewhere will snap it up - and good luck to them.
