I live at home with parents on 13.5k before tax. I'm not FUCKED but I can't afford a mortgage even if I had a great wacking deposit. Nor can I afford to rent..

The dude who I've got to talk to about it is manager of the external sales guys.. he's mentioned in chat when he offered me the job back in Sept 2010 that he'd like me to progress in a few YEARS to external sales or product manager..

When he offered me the job he gave me a rise from about 12.5k (I was on hourly rate back then) to now 13.5k (salary)... I'm just not sure if its too soon
