Hi guys,
I have been applying for Level 1 Helpdesk roles and I recently have an interview for an entry level Helpdesk job next week. If I do get this job I would definitely get the experience I require to move on. Currently I am working as a tech support but in a telco company dealiing with landline issues of the customer. If I do this I would get proper IT Helpdesk experience dealing with networks and computers.

The only issue is that if I do get this job compared to my current job I would be going for a pay cut...say of around 10K. I am a bit confused about this but then again I wouldn't be doing this all my life... I know its a bit soon to think about this as I havent even had an interview yet. Just wanted to know what you guys would have done if you were me?
Thanks

That's a hefty pay drop.

Can you afford to live on that wage for 2 years?

 

Unfortunately that's always the issue when you move trades (which essentially you are), you pretty much have to start at the bottom of the ladder and climb it again.

I know it's not what you want to hear but you may also have to look at a second job (bartender, waiter etc) to suppliment your income until you're at a point where you're primary job salary is back to where it should be.
