I've certainly seen a lost worse pay for a junior.

i've seen bad juniors!
£16k is pretty fair from a charity too... And lets face it... junior are junior because you're young dont know shit - even though you do. You shouldn't be trusted with more than 16k.

16k from a leading Independent weekly! what the fuk? Does that include Hot dinners and a warm drink!? your taking the mickey mouse with that salary mate.
That salary Is defo a big issue, Id say you've acctually exposed how cheap, greedy, sonic floggers you really are. Id make more money if I made a cardboard guitar and busked on the corner of your head office. (next to the dude selling the Big Issue)

man you guys are greedy - although i understand the london mark-up... i started on £10k, in the Uk's 2nd most expencive city.
- schjetne0
Is that 16k a year?
- carver0
i get £44k!!
- recpos0
whatever - its not a bloody competition.. £16k is a fair enough wage for a junior - if you don't like it, get a job in a factory pushing shit around...
- schjetne0
I want 44k too!
I get about 16k from my crappy part time job as a web slave.
