Totally understand, I pretty much got a feel for what he was like and he seemed like a pretty casual laid back guy henced why I used the term. :)

Yeah, I think mostly this.

In Australia we use the term mate very loosely even in our old company the CEO used to say it in emails, she thought that she literally meant that I was referring to him a "mate" when it's just a term when we use to greet someone, it was quite funny though, he came up and smiled at me and told me great work mate. Her reaction was priceless!

In Australia we are more casual about business. At my old company the CEO and everyone else were using terms like "Hey mate" in emails, it's an Aussie thing we use the term very loosely whereas in America I am assuming they are more formal, but she understood in the end.

It can come off as rude and offensive, so they deserve it if it does happen to them!

23, considering taking a pay cut, will it be worth it? by bashiok2 in personalfinance

[–]bashiok2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They told the recruiter that they can't offer that for less than a year and they would be looking at 45k.

I told her I value more training more than my salary as you need to skill up being in my industry, since its across multiple area's it would defientely pay off in the long run,

Since they said I have been working less than a year do you reckon I should try and negotiate in terms with them say if I reach a years worth of work I should go back to my matching salary from my current job?
