How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
2/5
2 - The pay is fine but it is not included in the trade union and therefore does not go up with inflation. It's no where near where it should be compared to 10 years ago but this applies for pretty much every grad job outside of London atm
