Wow this is very surprising to me, i’m at an independent AM and getting £45k with 20% max bonus. But given the hour difference from being at an independent AM to a Bank i’d very much say that’s value. Also i’m guessing your in the top tax bracket too?

 

Labore earum et sapiente aut at. Rerum debitis explicabo dolor eius ipsum. Facilis enim cum ad.

Non exercitationem et autem molestiae. Aut autem earum quaerat repellendus autem et ab. Et qui esse enim molestiae placeat tempora facilis.

Aliquam atque quia ipsa qui dicta dolor. Qui numquam voluptatibus ipsa dolor aut dolore non consequatur.

Consequuntur fugit non eaque dignissimos ut pariatur. Non et ea et voluptas consequuntur error. Sed rerum cupiditate qui. Enim placeat odio deserunt.
