SAM 2m and Mr benn good information and good to see people happy in their work. Money is important but also quality of life as most guys in mid 30's have families/wives/girlfriends ( but hopefully not all of the previous gets far too expensive). What are basings available, standby periods, bidding for leave, are u able to get Xmas off and at least wife birthday and anniversary.
Money is important but you can never buy a good roster the chance of xmas off and some weekends now and then coupled with a nice base and good standby period.
I believe as companies start to employ the mid 30's more mature guy these issues start to become more important. Interested on what you guys have to say on the non cash benefits..
