Recently I started looking for a new Job. I felt that I wasn't happy working on the Defence project, despite assurances about the humanitarian relief nature of the project. My boss admitted that the humanitarian aspect was basically a front to get people into the project.

Yaaaaaay! Well done :D

How do you mean they were suspicious? As in, they weren't sure if you had the right level of experience or something?

Oh and it could be that they've only offered you a relatively low salary to start with, but once they're satisfied you can do the job they'll give you a raise?

[mancjon]

Yes, and yes :-)

Cheers!!

congratulations I wouldn't worry about the pay rise thing - Matt started in september last year and once he had settled in and they were sure he could do the job they gave him a pay rise (in march) plus the quarterly bonuses, although dependent on the amount of work done and extra time spent, are good.

They seemed pretty nice when I met them

[mancjon]

Yeah, I'm sure it'll all be fine :-)

Cheers!!

Congrats! Go you!

And yeah I'd give your boss an earful if I were you... though not until you've left!

I've already swapped the reference over to someone else, so should be ok.

Cheers!!

[mancjon]

Boss is monica and Team Leader is Paul Smart.

It's in Alresford, near Winchester. They're a bespoke systems software consultancy firm.

Cheers!!

Matt will gimme a lift (i'll split petrol), or I can train it to Winchester then bus or bike it. Should be OK I think!
