Hi all,

I have been given a really good job offer in Newcastle, and i am sreiously thinking about taking it. Just asking for peoples opinions, or if anyone has done this before and can give me some tips.

Thanks,

Ben

pay packet? any incentives..? newcastle that means u support the blues..

will be well compensated, just prefer not to let the world know crap the pay is. Why would i support the auckland blues, when i already have the crusaders as my team.

Just to get you thinking if you haven't already thought of it. A company car these days is worth a good $10k plus a year... tax free to you... Is that pay double before or after tax? Because as you would know, before tax its far from actually being double :) (and without trying to have a go, you know you can nail doing the job? because 3month probations can hurt you... just something to think about)

That and well, you wont know anyone down there, so any money you make you will save, or spend on piss and become an alco... Also its a tops skim spot, so you could get really fit skimming, and Id come visit from time to time because its a tops skim spot.

Guess the thing is, is the money worth it. Thats only something you can decide on.

awesome dude..thts a pretty big step up! I can just call u directly next time i'm hiring a car :)

Thx btw for saving me heaps on the last hire! All up to you in the end to weigh up the pros n cons...if the $$ is worth it I say go for it!

im pretty sweet with that side of things man, ive managed a small business before and learnt alot from that, also mum is senior managment in the company, thats part of reason i have been handed it.

So you're a Kiwi... you can live in Newcastle, anything over this side of the ditch is a step up! :)

Jokes aside, it's not a bad place. I've had a few friend live there for 2/3yrs and all had a good time. good luck!

Haha no worries man. As I said didnt mean any offence by it (kind of cant come out any other way tho!) just I've seen recently a few people get offered these positions, they know they cant do it but they say yes anyway, and 3 months later they have no job, not even the one they started out with.

If you can do it man, and live out of qld (thats the hard bit) Id say go for it. That and the experience would be tops. Do it for 3 years or so, make a mint (that means selling the gtr otherwise you will just have a fast car and nothing else :() then come back, only realise even tho you have $300k saved up it still not enough for a house deposit!

I say NO just from my experience i was in the same boat.

In the same industry offerred more money and better conditions.

But it never happened promises promises and its to late once you have moved.

Very costly experience.

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
