You're going to get at least a few people tell you how you'll make upto 300k a year on day one as a 737 FO, and it used to be that every SO was on at least 200k apparently.
I'm sure both are numerically possible, but hopefully someone breaks down what you can expect as a base and THEN add expected overtime/allowances/super etc rather than throwing around arbitary outlier numbers as seems to be the norm when discussing Qantas pay.
Unless I'm mistaken you can't go back to SO from FO either, so either chair is going to be yours for a very long time - consider the relevance of that to your situation.
