Hello everyone.....this is my very first post on this forum so please be gentle with me.....I have been following Geo-expat for a while now and most people on here give fantastic advice, so I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
My wife and I arrived from the UK last year.....she has a great job & i am on a dependants visa.
This week I succesfully landed a great job after going through a recruitment process.....obviously I am overjoyed that I have gained employment in my area of expertise.
Problem: I am due to start in 2 weeks time...At the third interview, they requested I filled out an A4 paper, which required address etc etc.....nothing official they said but they needed it just for their files.... on the bottom was an area that asked what would be the minimum money I would accept...I filled in the min I was prepared to accept at that point.....I did not want to also put a ridiculous amount, as this may have excluded me from potential employment.
They have now come back to me and said there are quite a few additional hours to work each day & everyother Saturday, together with quite a few additional responsibilites. I am due to negociate my package next week, but obviously now the job parameters have changed together with the additional hours.
I do not want to offend my new employer, but I feel I must ask for more money.....nothing has been officially agreed yet with regards to my renummeration, and no papers have been prepared yet.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
