Before Christmas I went for an interview with a company nearby for a Senior IT Analyst role. Last week, I was asked back for a second interview and a techincal examination.

Following this, I had a call on Wednesday, offering me the job :)

It's reasonably local, lovely location, and really nice people. 3 month probationary period as with almost any job, but I get a performance related pay review at the end of that period.

In terms of salary, it's a very significant increase indeed, so I'm happy on that front.

And the icing on the cake - it's a 9 - 5 job, so all my weekends will now be free.
I've had the verbal offer, which I have provisionally accepted. Hopefully review and sign a bit of paperwork on monday, and looks like I'll be giving notice to my current employer on Monday afternoon  :y

I can't wait to get back into a normal routine again, my bodyclock is completely ruined doing such strange shift work...

We'll book you in for Newent in August then, if we do it again...  No excuses.. :P

I am told you should aim for £1000 for every year of your age...

Eh, maybe up till about 35, but it starts going downhill rapidly after then !  ;D

This is a very good point. I'd put conditions (and general enjoyment of the job) way above pay, so it's a bonus that you're improving both at the same time :)

 :)I'll always be on £25/30k a year (or equivalent over the years) This includes 1 or 2 nights out a week (sometimes none) I could earn more with the right car transporter or tanker company but it's a lot more work / responsibility & i'm one of lifes "only do what i have to people", not a "striver" so container work suits me fine, it's the easiest HGV work for a lazy sod!!! It's all relative i suppose 'cos my house only cost £40k (few years back) & i no longer have a family to support (other than a 22yr old son who dips into Dads pocket here & there)..............does that ever stop?
       Anyway if i do'nt rant i ramble so James/ Tunnie.... :y
