Hello. I work in insurance. Although I have 2 and a half years experience my current employers still only pay me £13k, and considering I live in a 2 bedroom house and my take home pay is £900 i'm left with virtually nothing each month after bills.
So i'm starting a new job on 3rd Dec, doing the same thing but for £15k. Another couple of people from my current office have left to work for this company, and now one of them has come back to this employer saying how bad the other company were, and how they have a huge backlog, and that everyone is really unfriendly.
This guy is lovely and easy to get on with so if he's asked to come back he mustve been desperate.
I'm worried that i'm not going to like it at this new job. But I can't come back as i've just got a mortgage and can't afford the repayments on £13k.
What should I do?

Go to the new job with an optimistic attitude and make your own judgments. Although the other guy is easy to get along with - that company may just not have been a good fit for him. That does not mean that you will have the same problems.
If it turns out that the new company is bad....learn as much as you can and keep your resume updated. Sometimes you have to make a few changes to find the right company. I'm with my 3rd insurance company. This one is the right one for me and I plan to stay with them until retirement - which is a very long time off.
Good Luck to you.

Stick it out with the new place. That is what I would do. So you seem to be okay with this new place thus far. You left the old place for a reason. Remember how you felt? Remember how you thought you were getting too little for all you did for them. Look you left them for a reason, why go back now? There is this show I use to watch when I was a teen. At the end of the show the host would say..."Keep forward. Going back? Not even for momentum." (It was a show in a different language so I did my best to translate.)

Everyones take on a job will always be different. The best thing to always do is do plenty of research about a company BEFORE you go to an interview and BEFORE you even apply for a job.
The best thing that you can do at this point is make the best out of your working experience. Go in with a 'go-getter' attitude and dont allow the environment to deter you from being the best that you can be.

properly, are you able to interest share (and consequently artwork section-time)? Or are you able to easily artwork section-time or according to probability perform a little artwork from domicile? speaking from experience, it extremely is attainable on an analogous time as holding a residing salary working in the wellbeing care industry. (i'm a element-time RN.) That way you could artwork on honing your craft, be it photos, writing, and so forth. and finally provide training, submit, sell, and so forth. w/o the pressures of turning out to be $ at it ideal away.

Go to the new job and make your own judgements. You might love the new place and the guy just might have issues. You have a choice; you can either change the situation or change the way you look at it.

First, you need the money. Second, go there and judge for yourself. What is good or bad for somebody, isn't necessarily so for everybody. And it is really that bad, look for other job, while you earn the money you need. I wish you good luck.
