only to get one of the bonus - everything else seems unrestricted.

This weekend I came across a special offer from CommSec whereby you get a cash account (complete with debit card, bpay, etc), an investment account paying 3% (+1% for limited time) and pay no monthly account fees - in fact they give you $5 a month for the promotional period, plus $600 free...

Contrary to the theme of this thread, money isnt a great concern of mine travelling o/s... I just want to try something different... although it could build my career it doesnt have to. The plus will be that I will be qualified when I get back so then I can land a nice job at that point... or...

I think anyone looking to get ahead have it made for them in WA. Its hard to turn your back on... if it is as good as it sounds, unfortunately I'm not a tradie... no doubt there are professional jobs but they probably arent pulling the same money it would seem these days!! To above message...

Yeah it seems to be the best way to go. I think what holds a lot of people back is the general security of staying in the one job... which is understandible. But if you have reasonable experience and/or qualifications I find it really hard to believe that it would be that hard to find...

Topical

luxury motor vehicles... sounds interesting :thumbsu: qualifed or anything abba?

I'd suggest its no universal however as many of my friends who didnt go past year 10 makes the same, if not more than me.... or used to... so it still took me 3 years... even though I had the degree to get ahead. (starting 8 years behind once you factor in 11, 12, 3 years uni, 3 years work)

Nice work there champ. Personally I dont give a rats what everyone is making in the scheme of things, I just wanted some data so I could get what I thought was fair and reasonable. Obviously some people land in favourable positions, others dont, we all have a role to fill. I was just...

Since I came on here a bad mouthed what I was getting I thought I better post an update and say I just got a 26% pay rise and am now on a total package of $46k... $42k excluding the super with about 2.5 to 3 years experience, unqualified. I am happy with this, maybe the Big 4 firms are coming...

Re: Salary Survey - What are your worth? Nice! I assume your in public accounting as a manager? 85k seems pretty good for public practice.

luck of the draw hey. sounds like an interesting circumstance

Its all good. I am not greatly concerned. The purpose of this thread was purely to see what others are getting, what to expect, etc etc Obviously the more we talk about it the better informed we are in making decisions and challenging our employers for raises. I dont understand people who get...

Thats a really funny post mate compared to my circumstances. I am flying over to Perth for the first time in a couple of weeks, spending 10 days there. Whats is wrong with it? drugs? haha... I'm going to watch West Coast and Freo so that'll be fantastic! Also per my earlier post I intend...

Come on guys go easy... I think he got a kick out of putting that post up. haha :thumbsd: He was probably just 'tired silly' watching the cricket.

Re: Salary Survey - What are your worth? Gday mate - Good to see you again. Well I've been to Utas and got a job in accounting and you can see how it has gone... if you want to IM me I might be able to help you with any queries Basically it takes a lot of time to get your return out of...

Re: Salary Survey - What are your worth? Cheers mate. (a) I would say I have no negotiating power. Everyone is in the same boat - my office situation is about half of the office is under 25 so if they raise one I think they would feel they had to raise them all. Although I outperform...

Re: Salary Survey - What are your worth? I guess we are 'accountants' after all. Industry is obviously the best place to go. They are screaming out for them everywhere - but your right, they arent putting there hands in there pockets

Re: Salary Survey - What are your worth? your comments echo my feelings... however as financial panther says thats what the going rate is everywhere... im in professional firm. will be escaping soon

We had a thread like this going about 12 months ago discussing what everyone is making, should make, and plans to make... Personally I've been an accountant for 2.5 years and i'm on about $34k which is pretty lame. (they advertise the salary including super, ie. $37.5k)

I've been seeking something along these lines. Gambling become a temptation as I figured I was good at analysing and knowing when to avoid and get on... but unsuccessful. If you had, or were willing to learn, how to develop effective web pages you could create 'fantasy sport' services such...
