Thanks for the info.
If there's no commission then £15-£20k seems quite low for the work involved.Scoops

If it is about enjoying your job I suspect you may be looking in the wrong direction anyway.

How do you mean the wrong direction?
To be honest its something I have thought about for the last 18 months or so and im at a crossroads in my current career. As much as its job satisfaction I have a mortgage to pay and would like to start a family on the next 18-24 months so that's why there are so many questions relating to the salary. My partner only earns £14k so for me to drop from £27k to £15k would have a massive impact on us.
I don't know whats involved in the role on a day to day basis so maybe I wouldn't enjoy it but its a subject an area that interests me.Scoops0 -
