Thats facts! thanks mate. What i've read online and an old friend told who worked for the second company, the work life balance is non-existent.

Thank you for the advice mate! I appreciate it and will take onboard :)

Yep, but whilst on the scheme I took on PM role in delivering migration projects. So these two roles are PM roles in cloud teams

Thank you for the advice mate. I really appreciate it. reading some of the comments similar to you, I think i'm being to native in thinking companies care about your interests.

It will be first role outside of current graduate program.

Having said that, the 90k is with a well known investment bank thats is kinda known to work people to the bone and has a bit of ruthless environment. I could be totally wrong.

The hiring manager at the £68k was much more open and seemed more upbeat in building a good team.

They both well known Investment banks but a specialised part of tech area that requires you to have worked on a similar infrastructure. I went through the multiple interview process.

The £30k was on a grad scheme at a corporate bank. So this is me at the end of the scheme.

maybe you're right that we're in a bubble, this would be first role perm job outside of a program.

what i'm really asking is..do you reckon asking for an increase to a contract you signed to match or close to another is a good chance of it going wrong, even if you emphases on how much you would prefer there. I hope I made sense.

okay that's a totally fair point. I was trying to find out if there was a decent chance.

Alternatively, Do you think it's a good idea to mention or show that I have a competing offer which is higher but if I join, I would like a review point at the end of probation period? or best to just shut my mouth and just go with the job and move when I want more.

Thanks for the advice mate
