If you were to apply for a job as an Apprentice Instrument/Electrical Engineer what would be your expected salary

Keep in mind the company pay for all your training etc what do you think the pay will be in 1st year

put £10k they will negotiate with you anyway

dont put it too low as they already have a figure in mind and if yours is lower than theirs its a bonus for them but if yours is higher the will negotiate with you

Im 24, almost 25, located central scotland in the heart of the oil & gas industry, 40's pipeline flows right into my town

Im currently doing my HNC in electrical engineering just now & will be looking for a job once it finishes, might need to take an apprentice position to get me a start but im willing to do that.

Is £10k not a lot for a 1st year apprentice?? Im willing to do whatever it takes to get in, might put i'll work for free

I dont give a fuck about the wages for the next 4 yrs tbh....im looking long term with this!!

Dont sell yourself too short though.
I had just finished my 3 year HNC in plant and process principles (mechatronics). i think i started off on 10k at around the age of 18.

Its an apprenticeship, you cant expect to get a fat pay while getting put through intense training & courses!!

Its maybe a bit cheaper to live up here but not as much as is made out, I still have the same bills as the next person, just have to manage somehow. Im more than willing to struggle for the next 3-4yrs to get a good job. After that £30-£40k/yr will be common place!!

Theres a discussion on that in house day and the property, for the most part, isn't any cheaper either.
