The locum pay has been slashed! But as an F1 you can still expect an extra 100 quid for picking up a shift. The beauty of starting now is that you have nothing to compare it to, Im in the same boat. nobody really knows at this point how the guardian is gunna work out, its supposed to make things easier, but time will tell! As far as the basic salary goes I think its good for F1s, but were gunna be pay protected now so you definitely wont lose out either way
