[GreatFlame]

I'm an aviation and aerospace broker working in London:

Pro's:
Salary, bonus's and benefits
Social side - meet new people each day
Eating out at nice places in London
Fly around the world to see clients and even better sometimes see satellites launch into space!
I've got a massive TV above my desk so got to watch all the Olympics while 'working' (really got into womens beach volley ball...funny that!....it usually has some kind of sport on it though - always good!)
27 days holiday a year

Cons
Commuting sucks - 4 hours a day just getting to and from work with a nice hefty bill each month for the privilege of using the national rail.
Long hours - a good day is 14 hours long.
when you do travel its usually england to (country) meeting stay overnight meeting fly home...not always though (as in the pros section)
Pressure to meet targets.

thats it i think

regards

Alex
