£27k pa was at the higher end of the starting salary for most of the big financial services/advisory grad schemes in the early 2010s, IB obvs excluded. These were super competitive grad schemes that required (or at least were rumoured to) a first in a BSc from a red brick uni and for you to pass muuuultiple rounds of assessment. That whole thing was seriously mentally damaging (I lasted 9 months before I became a fully fledged mental health caseDon't know where this will land and I'm sure it's been said many many times but, doesn't It speak to Jack's middle class entitled belief system that a £27 grand a year job at that age was easily abandoned?
If I'd had a £27k year job at that age I think I'd have to have been shot dead to relinquish it.. think I was on less than £4ph at that age..
