Hi Guys,
As some might know, I've been working in the Steel industry for a while now as a Supply Chain Manager. Well, recently a headhunter cold-called me and put me forward for a similar role in the mining industry working for a Tier 2 company.
Well, I was successful! I'm now going to be heading up Supply Chain for this company, reporting directly to the GM - Procurement.
It is a $40K immediate pay increase coupled with another $40K-$50K STIP bonus increase on top if I hit my targets. Last year all managers were paid STIP in full at this company.
Absolutely stoked. As the head of Supply Chain I will have full strategic accountability which I prefer. I will be able to set the agenda. Its also great to get into mining and out of manufacturing at the moment. This role could be a real career builder.
A lot of things are finally coming together for us. The salary increases here coupled with the rental income increases from letting all three of my Mona Vale units next year will see a circa $200K pa increase in our household income. We're making do at the moment, but next year should see some of the delayed gratification turn into immediate gratification. I might even get to move out of this caravan I've been living in.
Its been a rough ride, but perserverance pays off. Lets all raise a cup to 2013 shall we!! I'm off to buy a bottle of aged single malt to celebrate...
Cheers,
Michael
