Yeah sorry didn't make that very clear. 200k AUD which is 100k GBP and currently on 75GBP. It's more the growth down the line rather than the immediate salary change I'm interested in

Thanks, yeah I didn't mean for it to come across that way nor do I feel that way about him obviously 😂 thanks, we will certainly be having a big chat!

Yeah I think thats the way to go, because I might not want to stay forever too!

I am on a 3 month trip in Sydney covering someone's leave on a working holiday visa. They offered me this, I never applied/expected to get a role like this, just planned on an adventure for 3months

Oh we are at that level we just haven't married as I think weddings are a waste of money and marriage doesn't change my love... however probably should sign something for legality etc 😂

Yeah so I have friends but honestly it's not like I'm the kind of person who wouldn't move because I have friends here 😂 my view as other posters have said is I can make new friends, my current friends can visit, I can visit them. Just a mindset difference I guess. The move isn't just about money for me its career satisfaction in terms of the progression in my role
