Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.

I’m in GA, and know from experience, it’s a lot of work. Unless it’s a decent salary with perks, I wouldn’t switch.
Im in GA also, Im curious what you would consider a decent salary. I am a personal injury paralegal but I also do workers comp too.
It’s busy work but not HARD work. Also - it really depends on whether you’ll be doing petitioner or respondent. Petitioner work is poop - you’re basically babysitting grown ass people to make sure they go to doctors and the such. Respondent work is less mental but nonetheless… busy. Very repetitive work.
Coming from some one who has spent the majority of my career in personal injury litigation with a couple of years in WC: it’s different, and whether you like it will depend on what you’re looking for in a job. WC is form driven, repetitive work at an incredibly high volume. The case turnover pace is much quicker compared to litigation. Because of the speed and volume, I found the quality of work tends to suffer. As the others mentioned, it is not hard work but I wouldn’t categorize it as necessarily exciting work, either. In WC defense I spent a lot of time following up with carriers and employers for information and updated records. Sending and following up on subpoenas. Drafting forms for filing and following up with the commission about the same. Most cases settled without a formal hearing and I person never had a case go to trial.
