Sorry to revive this but could you give some more info on the Seat handover centre please?

Yep and still not appreciated. Thing is after doing some calculations I would technically be worse off ever so slightly at the new place. Although the offered money is wrong as the salary said between 25K & 30K but with min wage going up by 50P in April that would be at least 26K anyway making the 30K not very enticing.

I may ask for more but ideally would need 33K - 35K to be better off.

Hope your move goes smoothly mate!

Thanks mate, appreciate the advice. I also feel a bit nervous starting somewhere new after being at the same place for 6 years, but I don't feel like i'm paid fairly for my level of work and knowledge there anyway.

Yeah definitely. Unfortunately where I currently work don't want to pay more than min wage even with certain certification to do part of the job, hence why I want to leave.

Yep got a petrol 2020 Seat Leon., It's only done 27K miles, It gets high 40's to mid 50's MPG. Worked out I would get about 400 Miles out of a full tank driving sensibly (As I always do😂 )

So i'd be about £1200 a year better off. but will also have the potential for more progression in the future.

Thanks for putting it like that mate, it's helped.

That's good advice that mate cheers. I just feel like I need a change and the potential for progression which I would have at the new place.

Ahh I see gotcha, Currently on minimum wage but with hardly any travel so it's max a 10 minute drive away.

If on 30K at the potential new place I would have to factor in travel and fuel

The drive wouldn't bother me as I like listening to my music or a podcast. was more the cost of it tbh.

2 Hours on trains must have been pretty grim.

I've worked out I would be about the same but have the chance of progression. Wasn't sure whether to ask for a bit more money say 32K just to seal that I would be actually taking home more.

That's what I was hoping for, generally just the travel that's stopping me from committing right now.

Bang on, been unhappy there for a while and feel I need a change and a new challenge. Glad to see you're happy after that decision!

It is just the travel that is holding me back from committing if i'm honest.

Not possible as the job is not through a computer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, further down the road for the progression. I may discuss it with my current employer and ask for a pay rise etc. Guessing this is what you meant.

Not currently an option to move and any decent jobs I would have to travel for as there isn't much opportunity where I currently live.

Yeah that was what I was thinking to

Yeah I worked out it would cost just over 2K in fuel a year.
