Who knows... Does anyone have any hard facts on any of this?
Salaries for newly qualified FOs?
Repayment structures?
Whether repayments are taxed or from source?
Current employment stats?
Finance available from HSBC?
We could do with someone on the other end (just finished the course) or CTC to tell us what the flip is going on and where we stand. It's naive to make assumptions on how much we will get paid, or how we will be able to afford to live with the repayments etc without fact. It's hit me lately that none of us actually know the answers (unless someone's just been keeping quiet!?), the last page or so has been pure speculation.
I will do some digging and get back to you all.
