Hi all,
Im smiling at the minute, I just got a pay rise from 35k - 38k which ok at first is fantastic, but then i think, in all fairness just how much is this really worth to me, how would i begin to calculate the difference this will mean to me long term?
this is roughly an 8.5% pay increase, which firsthand is really good according to most recruitment websites where industry standard is usually 7%.
However since its my first increase since 2004 when i started, taking inflation into account (2004 - 2005 and 2005 - 2006), I begin to wonder, just what exactly is it really worth to me?
Your help as always is appreciated.
