Once I did a quick computation on how much you would get if you would
accept an offer to work in my group. I can not find that e-mail but IIRC
it was in that ballpark. Offer is not valid yet, we still haven't got
the project.
If you are paid significantly less now, you are underpaid. But we have
been through that already.

Hypothetically such people probably exist, but I don't think I've ever
met one.

You definitely need to move. That's not even college graduate money here.

Minimum wage here is £14,373.74 (€=alt-0128 £=alt-156 and ü=alt-129 but
that was not the question) if I computed it right

Seconded. Feeling like talking to a wall.

Doesn't it vary depending on how many hours you work?
(Note that my wages are not *precisely* £14,000, that's just the nearest
round figure. I don't know the precise figure off the top of my head.)

Well, everybody else in this city seems to not have a problem finding a
job, so...

sure, that is full time. 38 or 40 hours per week.
Are you working full-time?

I calculated based on 2000 hours, i.e., 8 hours x 5 days x 50 weeks.

No, those that couldn't find a job *left*. :-)

I am. I was just clarifying the point that there's a dependence there.

Err, no. FWIW the starting salary for graduates at our place wasn't much
below that several years ago. For someone with a degree and 5 years
relevant experience I'd say 30k was easily achievable and you wouldn't be
expected to be in charge of anyone.

I don't think I've ever had a boss that earned less than 50K. I think you
have a totally skewed view of salaries because you are paid so little in
your current job.

I guess you put an extreme amount of value on familiarity.
