actually, interviewing and job hunting owns because it's the best way to get a 40% salary bump

There is like a trio of banks in my city with a lot of tech jobs, its very common for people to just ping pong between them. It's always the fastest way to promotion

The total compensation (salary bump/bonus) was dreadful for me this year, I think I am going to stick out the rest of this year for an easy promotion and then start looking elsewhere

I really like my boss, and my team, and the work I am doing now is actually ok. Just got burnt by the "graduate scheme"

I've been working for 17 months now and pretty much have enough to pay off the last year of my mum's mortgage for her and have enough left for a 10℅ deposit on any place that I could afford a mortgage on. My plan is to move out in a few months, but I know I'll get promoted this time year so don't know it's worth doing another year of saving and then skidaddle when my salary is higher

I mean that's pretty common here, for a first time buyer

Different story if you are selling somewhere first and moving

i found a nice cottage flat, with main door access, for really cheap

the area isnt great but its right next to the expressway, with about 6 different busses going along it into town. less than 10 minute by bus/car to city centre (the office too)

cheap enough that i could buy it now and pay the mortgage off in 5 years before i turn 30

only downside is there is someone living above

e; the idea being just get it paid off and then move it. either then sell this place and use as deposit for another place, or just keep the place and rent it out
