After a tricky year of 6 months out of work then us living 300 miles apart while I was heavily pregnant with DD3/ DD3 a newborn DH is getting calls left, right and centre about jobs. He had a random call from an agency scouting him for work in Calgary on Friday.
The (frankly quite ridiulously sounding) sum of £150000 per annum was mentioned. It looks like this would be roughly $240000. At this stage we have no idea what other benefits (if any) would be thrown in. We're just trying to get a feel for the offer to decide whether he should apply; we hadn't really planned on re-locating any time soon! Is this as generous (in Canadian terms) as it sounds to us?
Just as background, DH is a well qualified consulting engineer - if the right contract comes up (less often in current climate) he can earn very well, although nothing like as much as has been mentioned. He's taken a big paycut in the last year just to have work. We wouldn't re-locate just for the
money but if DH thought the job would be right for him, and we fancied the challenge as a family then it would be an incentive.
