Is £26k a really bad salary for a 20yr old? I thought that would have been quite nice for somebody in their first job?
It's about £12.50 an hour when the London living wage is £11.05 so it's certainly nothing that I'd expect an employer to shout about.
My first 'proper' job after dropping out of uni 20yrs ago was £15k. I was living at home and still don't think I had anything spare. It was one of those 'can do attitude' jobs in IT, where we were ridiculously under staffed and I basically just blagged it. I learned a lot, but the wage was still a pisstake.
Agree with everything 6pt said ^ too
