Would you consider a FIFO job for 20% more pay? Currently at $100k TC @40h/week, and received an offer at a northern Ontario mine site for $120k on a 14/14 fly-in-fly out agreement.

Pros of offer:
-more money
-interesting project
-direct site experience
Cons of offer:
-will be away from home for 50% of the year

Depends on your personal situation and priorities. I did an arrangement similar and loved it - very interesting perks too. But I can see how that’s not compatible with family life for example

Two weeks isn’t that bad… I basically was on this same arrangement for a consulting project for two years (although I had the better end of the deal on location because I was going to Europe lol)

Not for 20k man, lol. You'd have to pay me at least $400k to live in the middle of nowhere.

Is likely less than 20k once you factor in taxes

Alternatively I'm considering taking this offer to my current manager to see if they can match. I've been with my current company for 2 years now and I really like my job, I'm a bit worried about not liking a new role.

Update update, our COO rejected the raise request from my boss. Gonna stick around for now and continue searching for a new role. If anyone is looking to hire someone with capital strategy experience in mining/manufacturing/metals please let me know.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
