So I might just have found a job.
- Them: When your contract ends, how would you fancy a job being admin/PA/chauffeur?
- Me: Erm, I'm a techie? Trying to progress a bit in IT? You know as well as I do that taking a 'girl job' would make all future employers go "must have been crap at IT to take that job!" and scupper that.
- Them: It's perm and paying 2x what your current contract does. You could get debt-free in a year and start working on Heinz.
- Me: Yeah, but, the future...
- Them: Well progression within the organisation is sort of expected and is largely based on pay grades. So you can go up a pay grade in your current part of the business, or cross-train and go to a different part of the business at the same grade. Could be an in to a whole new career.
- Me: Well... yeah, but I've been told that before...
- Them: The boss's company car lease agreement gets transferred to you, and it's for personal use too. She suggests you get a Mercedes CLK. But it's a new car every 3 years.
- Me: ... OK I'm out of arguments.
