Well yeah, it's a government job so it's probably going to suck money-wise; the guy I know ended up losing money I believe because he had to buy a lot of snow clothes and paid travel expenses on his own account.
Moreover, I believe he had a really bad time there because the population in the base was mostly military and they treated him like shit in the most military bootcamp style with physical aggressions and such. So, he ended up not completing the whole term. (This probably will depend on the country of course).
- Eddygandr 3y agoIt’s a research institute so I don’t think it’s directly a government role, more like a university. I see adverts at Oxford University for sysadmins at around £45-65k so it’s on the low side for what I consider comparable jobs, but my thinking might be flawed
- robertlagrant 3y agoIt's pretty bad considering Oxford prices. (Source: I am an Oxford resident.)
- Eddygandr 3y agoAgreed, although most companies in Oxford never really matched living costs either (well, housing costs) - Oxford Uni pay staff comparably to other companies in the area (like Elsevier or Oxford Computer Consultants). Let alone the low salaries in academia there...
