Hi. I estimate that your take home pay will be around £316 less per month. If you can reschedule the family loan to pay back £100 less, then you're £216 worse off. Is there any way you can deal with that drop in income?

The only other suggestion I have is to come clean with the possible new empoyer. Try saying that you are very keen to work with them, but the salary drop is just too high. Could they possibly improve the offer - split the difference may be? Worth a try!

Depending on what the other job is have you tried to negotiate on the salary? Even if it was a case of agreeing a higher salary over a year with one raise at 6 months and another at a year if you're performing well? A couple of people I work with had this when they started here.

Hello!

My husband took a new job paying £5000 less than he was currently on.. just to get a nicer job.. luckily.. around the same time I got a £5000 pay rise..!
So we evened out.. Is there any chance of your partner getting a pay rise? maybe a different approach to it..?

If you are that unhappy in your job if you can find a way of coping I would definitely go for it.. Your life will be so much better!

PS It's fair enough people saying take the job if the current one makes you unhappy, but I'd rather be in a job that pays my bills and makes me unhappy that I can leave at the end of the shift, than in a job with low pay that would leave me worrying about paying for stuff all the time.

Well I have the interview beginning of May so will see how I get on and negotiate the salary playing the card that I've been offered another position. I have applied for a saturday job p/t to see how much they would pay but shame can't work out the tax on the second job to work
out salary in total. Does anyone know how I can work out what money I would need to make. Currently take home £1500 and believe £18,500 would be approx £1225 per mth after tax. But need to make £275 for the difference so apparently get taxed more on new job, but not sure how much tax???

Thanks for your views
