I have a second round interview for a job in the city supporting a team of hedge fund managers, as far as I can tell this involves being a mix of a PA and front of house person. The starting salary is £22000 (I earn £18000 at the minute, no potential to earn more with time) going up once probation is passed.
I'm wondering what to do and if I should take it if I get offered it. At the minute my job is teaching an extracurricular activity to quite a high level to students and this was my dream but it isn't financially viable long term. I'm 28 now so need to make good decisions to set me up for the future.
Does anyone know how far I could progress in a city job or what the top tier PAs earn?
Also, I was told the hours would be 'usual office hours', am I right to suspect they could be very long in the city?
Does there tend to be a culture of working through lunch breaks etc?
