actual salary you'll be getting

When I was changing career sectors from property to a trainee tax role with full study support the banding was 18-20k. The only knowledge I had of tax was from studying revenue law at university a couple of years earlier; not true exposure as it was more of how the laws were made, not how to actually calculate taxes.

Had the interview, was frank with them and said I couldn't justify taking less than 20k as I had commitments already. Went back a couple of days later for an informal chat to meet the other managers and was offered the job there and then at the figure I asked for.

Now at 26k after 18 months with one qualification behind me and hopefully a rise to mid-30s next August once I pass my next qualification.

Just go in with confidence. If you think you are worth a certain amount, then you need to tell them.

I can't imagine a company that would want somebody enough to pay them 17K but not enough to pay them 19K.

Depends how many people willing to do the job for 17k there are.
