exactly the same thing
same hours, same work. but i could get a total bastard of a boss, whereas the current one is pretty much brilliant.

then again, an extra 20k even after being raped for more tax is still quite a lot of cash!

I'd suggest speaking to your current boss
and saying "hey, look, I can get 20 grand for doing the same job somewhere else. How much would you miss me? Speak soon!"

the problem is that if you ask for too much
and you get it, they really want their pound of flesh! i am well aware i already get paid an obscene amount, but then if it's not a competitive salary compared to equivalent firms... i don't want to have the piss taken out of me. but then, i am really happy there, it's a lovely place to work (for a law firm) and that's got to have a cash value too.

i've been having this dilemma for the last 12 months, doubtless i'll be having it in 12 months time.

Regardless of how much you get paid
