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.

How long is the contract for? 14/14 for a year is a painful experience for just $20k more in my opinion.

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.

Started at a new firm a recently. I’m a little anxious about my growth opportunities.

It seems they’re really happy with my work. They’ve brought up the issue of my time and said I should be able to capture my time as long as I break the entries up more. But I think they’re still cutting it. I’m worried I won’t justify my pay goals..

I interviewed for a job at a new company, and the role would be a huge pivot for me. When asked, I gave the absolute minimum I would be willing to accept (my current salary) since I have no experience in the area. The company came back and offered an interview for a different role, much closer to the job I currently do. Is there any way to salvage the salary negotiation if I’ve already given them a low number for the original job I applied for? I’d like to negotiate a raise if I’m not pivoting
