salary expectations??
 

Hi,
Hubby has an initial phone interview for a job in Karratha and they said they would be asking him about his current salary and his salary expectations in a job over there.I've been reading past threads about Karratha and several people have said that the salary level is high there,someone said 'you could earn BIG BUCKS'
What would be a 'big bucks' salary,does anyone know?
He is on quite good money here (tho' we've never any left at the month end!!) and we weren't sure what to expect in Oz but we don't mind less money if the relocation package is OK.

A friend of ours is on around $2.4 million basic with bonuses etc on top. Now that is what I call big bucks!!!!!

It's a job as an Operator Technician with an oil company.

Sorry, havn't a clue!
I think anything over $100.000 would be considered 'big bucks' and maybe you would get 'extra' benefits like LAFHA and rent assistance.

It won't be easy to estimate his potential salary without knowing the Australian counterpart to this job, but the following overview might help:

If he doesn't recognise anything in this list, he should visit the Website and have a look around.

Best of British to you both! :cool:

thanks tracey and vash,I guess anything round about the $100k mark would be good,have to wait for the phone conversation!
