4 Answers
Hi, I want to start looking for another job but am a bit unsure as to what salary i should start looking for. i have been in my current employment for 3 years, am 22 years old. i am a Further Advance Underwriter and i think i know the industry i work in (finance) pretty well. I have also just passed my FISA exam (foundation course). Can anyone help and tell me what the going "rates"
are? I am currently on �13k p/a.+ Comm
Also, i havent had a payrise since i have been here, not even with inflation, although my boss says this is because i earn commision, but it is not every month, is he right to say this?
Thanks alot darlingnc

The Reed employment agency currently has 617 underwriting jobs advertised across the country. Obviously, the required qualifications and experience will vary greatly but the national average salary offered is �32, 092.
To narrow those jobs down to your geographic area, and to your qualifications and experience, start here:

As long as their employer continues to pay at least the minimum national wage, nobody ever has any automatic right to a pay rise (except, of course, where a pay rise has been negotiated, on their behalf, by a trade union).

What Chris says.
There is no 'market rate' for most jobs - its about what you can negotiate.
Unfortunately once you are a captive employee, many organisations take advantage. It is up to you to determine what you think you are worth (by looking at the other job offers and talking to recruitment agencies that 'know' the market) then either discuss your expectations with your employer and/or put yourself on the market.
