There was no talk of different contracts for bases on the telephone. I did request the UK though, though I won't state where on here.
At the interview they showed different deals and payscales in the presentation. Including SFO, with the implication that it was possible to join as such. It seems not to be the case though by what has been said here. Maybe just trying to make it look better.
As it stands it's a very very poor show. I forgot about the expenses, factor in 8 weeks of hotels and living and it looks even worse.
Were the course being charged at cost I wouldn't be in a dilemma. But any company which is going to make £500m profit this year but still cheaply and cynically tries to squeeze a few grand profit out of it's new employees, to then not pay them very well anyway, isn't really morally correct in my book.
