Nice post. Very important to always remember that HR want to pay you the least to keep you on. They'll tell you that they are there for you, ready to help with any issue. But there's a fundamental conflict of interest when it comes to negotiating things like pay and training. Of course this is rather silly as they are just shooting themselves in the foot. And of course it's easiest to take advantage of grads because they have no experience with this kind of thing, and they are experts. How unfair. Apparently in the US most IT companies have learnt from this lesson are now pay most developers enough cash. Give it a few years! Hi Stu - Ryan sent me a link to your site.
