Fellas

Just after some ideas / feed back, thoughts etc.

I am currently working as a Supervisor of a large mining company 6.5 hrs from Perth and have been in the position for approx 18mnths.

My mates are in the process of moving to Perth, I might be offered a postion in Perth with a different company - the salary will be approx $40,000 a year less.

The work roster will be the same 4 on / 4 off.

The housing market in Kalgoorlie at the moment seems to be at it's peak, so it could be a good time to sell.

I think my manager will be really peeved if I hand my notice in.

What should I look at doing?

I should still have enough, just wont be saving as much, selling one house would help me out and when my second house is built I could get rid of that and just keep the one that I would be living in.

Still think I would be earning above the average wage, I would also try to negotiate an extra $5 -$10000 out of the company, that would mean dropping just $30000. I can get by on 100K OK.

I would never accept the first offer.

I think it is also cheaper to live down in Perth as well.

I am more worried about my bosses reaction.

Hey mate,

Where do you think you will be most happy? Are you happy at the moment? What are you persuing, job satisfaction or a big salary? Both will have its pros and cons, but $40,000 is a massssssive pay cut. Do you want to be closer to friends and family and not have to seek the company of prostitutes? haha joke.

There are alot of other factors you need to consider. Perhaps if you tell us how you feel about it maybe we can guide you in the right direction.

Well that's the reason I am looking and after info, I think I would be happier in Perth as I will be able to catch up wih friends , go on cruises, play on a decent golf course etc etc. I enjoy the job I have now, the job I am looking at I am not sure if I will like it or not. I will have more info on that when I go to check out the new plant. I still with have the opportunity in time to go up in Salary.

Foulgoorlie is good fun for 4-5 years, but after that one starts looking for more in life,

eg: a woman or social activites (that involve other than drinking at the feddie ect ect)

However, this mining boom isn't going to last forever either...so make hay while the sun shines..

your choice, lifestlye or money?

Sold my place in Kal a few years ago, made $60,00 on it, but with house prices in Perth being what they are, get ready for a shock....
