Average NQ salary in Edinburgh?

Riddler	Posted - 20 May 2010 07:55 I have an interview for an NQ job in Edinburgh and have a feeling I'm going to be asked how much I would expect to be paid. Don't want to undersell myself but, being a trainee, it's hard to judge what I should be asking for on qualification - what sort of pay are NQs on in decent Edinburgh firms?
messner	Posted - 20 May 2010 13:49 Report as offensive I would say 35-40. Although these figures might have been revised down by some firms at the height of the recession
girlygirly	Posted - 06 June 2010 01:06 Report as offensive Good luck with that! Unless its a top 3 firm you'll be lucky to get above 35k in my experience, maybe even less.
LadyBurd	Posted - 07 June 2010 14:00 Report as offensive I think 35-40 a bit steep in the current climate. On qualifying into one of the "big four" firms 2 years ago I and all my trainee to NQ colleagues got 35k and that was before the recession hit...maybe suggest 33-35
SalamanderSly	Posted - 04 July 2010 20:27 Report as offensive 33-36 for top five/six Scottish. Lower for other places e.g. 30-33. CMS are a different matter and could be over 50 easily. Premier corp might pay 38, only creme de la creme however.
Clergham	Posted - 06 July 2010 19:04 Report as offensive 38 k ? 50 k? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA cms is hardly an actual FIRM here but they're still not stupid enough to pay almost twice local rates
Clergham	Posted - 06 July 2010 19:05 Report as offensive and "premier league" have actually made some of the more swingeing cuts some of them took a 20% hit last yr
Roscoe P. Coltrane	Posted - 05 August 2010 14:54 Report as offensive Dickson Minto are, I believe, the highest payers (£40K?)
millieg	Posted - 25 August 2010 22:19 Report as offensive The Big 4 are all paying around £30k, NQ's in Scotland can only dream of hitting the £40k mark....
