I do not think so,
actually original position were advertised for 24-35K depends of experience.
No other benefits or bonuses were mentioned in writing or verbal conversation at all. And I am not happy at all with such a long hours:eek:

9 till 6 monday to sat and somestimes longer is heavy going for just 18k. However, as i said before, if you see it as a stepping stone to get experienced and learn the trade then its acceptable.

Long hours?

How many hours is that in week that you get paid for? - maybe the firm needs you for them hours - unless you go work for bank , lender or estate agents

I work in bank. - Get paid for 35 hours a week(no lunches paid), plus bonuses, shares ect

so if I went for another job I'd quote my hourly rather than my annual basic, as most are 37.5 hours plus

Slighty off topic but I've thought about selling mortgages in the past no real sales experience but interested in finance ,could i study at home and then look for work after passing exams?

6*9=54 hours
54-6(lanch)=48 hours
18k gross = 13.5 Net
So it is around 5.2-5.5 pounds an hour net:mad:
What kind of money shall I request as trainee advisor?

I suppose initially you have to put more graft in

ie working saturdays

I think I should give up this job because Sturdays were mentioned only as a metter of urgency, but as you see fom the letter they decided to include them into original offer.
Hopefully will pass my CeMAP3 soon and start looking again!!!:j

Thank you for your help.

Hey its your decision - we don't know anything about them or the role

When starting out, beggars cannot be choosers.

You have no track record and not qualified enough. You are also not competent status but trainee. So all the companies that could pay you more are not going to until you are qualified, competent and have a track record.

Sometimes you have to take that step backwards to go two forward.
