Uk web sites prices are very strange, opposed to us prices. In us pay $100 for an item, and for the same item the uk web sites show is £100 and more.

The conversion seems to be, take the us price and use the us price as uk price and not use any conversion $ to £ rate. So all has happened is changing $ for £.

To buy a us product in the uk the price is doubled. Uk buyers are paying double the us price now. That is a crazy Yikes !.

The cost of living in US and UK is very different, anyway. And it's not London.

[guru]

It's because everyone in the UK gets screwed by the rest of the business world and the UK gov.

US pay fk all and UK pay extra! It's the same in Europe and it really fks me off!

US house mortgage fiasco caused a lot of shit for the rest of us.... Greedy people got rich and poor people poorer

WD and Seagate offer deals in US like rebates for old drives against new.. In UK again, nothing....nothing and more nothing..

Anyway thats my view from the Cosmos

And 30k GBP is abover average wage for UK BUT below what a decent data recovery engineer would expect..

maybe 30K plus commision for every recovery......

[hddguy]

I totally agree with you!!

Are you UK based?

[guru]

Cosmos based :O)

[BlackST]

Anyway Europe is lucky for everything else. It depends on your expectations, attitudes and what's your opinion about life , overall. No extra and no high wage can pay freedom or high life quality even if this means to be poorer - money is not everything, though is MUCH IMPORTANT.

Agree

I agree but if some company wants to pay me $215 a day and wants to charge customers, say, $1000 or more for each drive I recover, well, they will get very rich off of my own experience.

[BlackST]

CGALLERY, with this point of view no one will work for Ford or Microsoft or IBM or any other company. $1000 include VAT, taxes, mortgages, YOUR wage, overall costs, business startup, equipment and so on. Think about the CEO at Coca Cola, he's probably doing nothing and every second how many bottles are opened ? It's the system and it's not wrong. Be it or be part of it, in any case it's your right to get a decent wage. You can always have option B : start your own business, show your stuff, show what you can do, and the results will come. Sure.

How about option #C, just pay me a commission (1/3) for each drive I recover?

[delta369]

I'm afraid there is no commission, but plenty of extras, company car, mobile phone etc...

Please bear in mind that this is a starting salary, a good data recovery engineer will soon rise to the appropriate salary bracket.

No business can run by paying a third of every job they see to a single technician. Who pays for the equipment, the premises, the advertising, the sales staff, the R&D, need I go on?

The candidate we require will join a team of 4 existing engineers, and 4 sales staff, they can't all take a third, I realise this isn't a maths or a business website, but common sense would be required of any potential candidate.

Regards....

[guru]

I think they would all take a 1/3 if they could

[BlackST]

Why not hire someone 'per incident' ?

[delta369]

We are currently dealing with a very high number of jobs, having someone available per-incident would require someone living on the doorstep in order to be used daily (as is required).

We require a permanent, full time, team of employees to support our growth.

The comments received so far have been very negative, if you believe that your skills are worth more than the proposed offer, please send along a CV - who knows, we may even agree with you

£30,000 per month? Five years ago I may have considered it - but certainly not now.

I think you need to be offering considerably more for a decent DR technician.

What is the company name? There are so many incompetent / dishonest companies around (alive and well - for the time being, at least - in the UK) that I feel a genuine offer of employment would include the name.

[delta369]

Odiferous is indeed correct, there are a number of UK businesses that are extremely dishonest - including those creating vapourware.

The position has now been filled - any further interest in positions in London that will be coming up in the next 3 months feel free to PM me.
