salary review

[Will Ayers]

I left college with the promise of a good job on the power lines with SSE. it came down to a week before I was due to sign a contract with them, I bailed out and started looking for subby work. Starting at £60 a day (I'd worked up from £40 a day while at college) I'm now running my own business and loving it. No time is the right time. If you wait for the right time then you will die before you get it done. Worst case scenario, you quit your job, hate being self employed, and end up back working at the old place or somewhere new. Personally I normally work a 4 day week, at least two of those days are normally quite chilled out. I don't make a killing but my rates are in line with my competition. Stop worrying about your pay and start paying yourself!

That's not much round here, it's £60-70 a day! That's either trainee with 31,38,39 or groundy pay.

 

A decent climber is £20-25k

£9 and hour is £20-25k 18900+ 30% = £24570 and that's not even on including the employers NI contributions which will be another £3k or so. Imo the OP is on an excellent rate, especially with all the training he's had.

Another item that puts it into perspective. If a commercial training provider is only paying £16-20k.... Well, it explains a lot.
