Off to the icy north.

One of the key people who had been considering the relocation has now got another job, this means that I can probably now name my own price if they want me to go to the other office. So with this in mind, I went in to negotiate but my manager said yes to almost all my demands. He even threw in some extra cash - (how much more could I have gotten?)

Still, since the offer is now reasonable, (about 6 months take home pay spread over a year or so), so I said yes. He looked very relived.

The only snag it that the contract has clause stating that it can be changed at any time - and I couldn't get this removed (take it or leave it), and this is a bit of a worry as it means that I could get screwed. But worse case is that I loose £5k, and this isn't the end of the world. Besides, if I'm still there in 3 months from now, I will have been paid an extra net pay of 6k, so it doesn't look like a major risk to me. Touch wood.
