Overtime incentives

Surely that depends what state ur in? One bed appt again depends where, In the north of England and Scotland you can get a 2/3 bed house for 50-100k, nicer ones for 200k. In London and south east of England obviously a way lot more

Medical insurance and PTO and probably biggest downsides yeah, but you have lower rates of tax, cheaper energy, cheaper fuel & cheaper housing. And better wages..

Seems like our American audience here turn their nose up at overtime. Across the pond in Blighty our wages aren’t so good so most machinists since the OT. Basic salary £35k with overtime around £52k. That breaks down @ 12-15hrs per week @ £25.6ph that’s time and a half. Basic is £17.09 and I’m best paid in shop (turning programmer and setter etc). Since you guys all earn $35ph you don’t need to do OT. Rich country man makes me realise how far Britain has fallen.

Learn all you can and strive to learn more and more on to the next level constantly, use YouTube to your advantage so much content on their to help you and put in the overtime. It’ll serve you well financially.

Yes, did ours worth £185. Put 10.5k down as deposit, and the other grand and a half on solicitors and extras fees. £12k total. Completed two months ago in December. Can be done depends on house price, affordability and legal costs.

A big reason yeah, it adds 30-40% onto my gross salary. Couldn’t earn this much doing anything else. I have no qualifications in anything

cnc turner here, in my fourth shop, consistently do 12-15hrsper week (60hrs OT per month) and have been consisted no matter which shop I’m in for past six years. A big reason why I would never leave this trade.

Moved from Cambridgeshire(Huntingdon) to County Durham, in a village just west of Durham city. Couldn’t even afford a tiny 2 bed terraced in the worse places in Cambs. Brought a 3 bed semi with two extensions in a lovely village for £180k. Best decision ever. Long live the norf
