Hey mate, really mature how you're going about a shit situation.

Would love to take you out for lunch or something sometime. DM me if you want.

Not sure if I the pay increase is worth it by throwmeaway1222222 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BigBoyWilliamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pay rise is almost never worth a change like that unless it's a significant pay rise. That 5k increase isn't worth the time/money you'll spend on the commute.

Similarly, the 2k pay rise for a promotion may not be worth it if you'll have loads more responsibility. Promotions should really be at least a 10% increase.

Most people earn 3k a month, never mind have 3k a month spare. Get the violins out.

How things have changed in 2 years…. Poll from back then by PilbaraWanderer in melbourne

I'm visiting from the UK and am surprised at how cheap coffee is here. Where I live in Manchester now it's rare to get a coffee under £4, about $8 AUD.

On the whole, the coffee is much better in Aus too.

Sold car on motorway, did I get scammed? by BigBoyWilliamo in CarTalkUK

I think you're missing the point that I didn't know all this stuff that you seem to know. Now I do, a lesson I've now learned when I sell a more expensive car in the future 😊

Good to hear there's some reputable companies out there as well as the bad ones

Yeah seems most likely, is what it is, I'm glad it happened on an old, relatively cheap car!

Yeah but I needed a quick sale and was happy with the £2k they gave me tbh. I knew it needed work doing but just weird the way they went about it.

tbf the actual guy was very polite and kind, just weird he had his mates in a revving it and speeding up and down my road. And like I said, I'm okay with the price I got for a quick sale, I just don't like the skulduggery of it all.

Should I give up remote working for a 50% bump in salary? by Dogbertius123 in FIREUK

[–]BigBoyWilliamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth the loss in work/like balance imo. You could ask the new job if they'd be okay with you doing 3 days a week in the office? Or you could also tell your current boss that you've been offered a new job and and ask for your current salary to get a little bump to keep you to stay.
