    How do you know? Have you been offered a job there and tried to negotiate a higher salary?
    How do I know? I once worked for them many years ago and the salaries are not negotiable.

    Policies change though and I only meant to try negotiate if they brought the subject up. Anyway this is irrelevant to the thread although the salary they are offering sounds rubbish for Central London.

    It is relevant as there are loads of jobs lower than £15k in CENTRAL London and not everyone pays a 'living wage'. I have no idea how someone lives on NMW even if you share a flat it's £500+ a month for a room in one where I live and that's not central london but 15 miles outside it.

    I do not expect to hear from them anway.

    Ah I meant about telling you you might be abke to negotiate, yeah those figures about the number of companies who pay LW to everyone are quite sobering.
    Good luck anyway you never know :)
