Lots of good advice here..but I'd like to be more blunt!
Forget about London/MCR/LPL bases if you intend to stay in the midlands!
How on earth would you cope if you were called in on a standby day?
M1/M6/M40/M4/M25/M23...choose your nightmare!
Doubtful if your new/potential employer would even consider such an arrangement!!
The step between the ground and the first rung in this business is huge... do everything (honest) you can to get and keep that first commercial job. Keep your head down and remain totally professsional at all times.
Good Luck. bm
