Dealmeout, the base for a trainee S/O in QF is the equivalent of $32K. This lasts for 10-12 weeks. After that a new S/O would be on at least $65K +++ (company super, overtime and allowances). Realistically I'd be surprised if a new S/O didn't end up with $85-95K at the top of their pay slip at the end of their first 12 months. No need to pay for your endorsement either!
