Tikay is in trouble then, he has been known to ask his female colleagues if they want to have a gander at a nice big choo choo, so I hear.

No idea, snoops. Many of the Sky offices at the Osterley Campus have their own Gyms, but I don't recall seeing a Gym in the Leeds office, where most (not all) of the SB&G staff are based. I'll try & find out for you.

The "look after our staff" concept & culture is very strong, & it's a terrific environment to work in. Most of the staff are young, all have sports or poker interests, & there are plasma TV's everywhere you look, showing Live Sport, 24/7. I adore that office, & only the fact that I have other responsibilities in London prevents me using it as my main working base. They have recreation break-out areas, too, with Pool Tables & all that sort of stuff. The times they have a changed, it seems.

What's the salary please Tikay?

No idea Woodsey, I'm sorry. "Negotiable" I would assume, based on perceived effectiveness.

It's a job that many poker players who need a reliable income would love, I'd have thought. I wish such jobs had been available a few years ago, the potential career progression there is huge.

Can I assume its not a £50k+ job?

Honestly, I really have no idea.

It could lead to one, though, if you were good enough............

LOL no, unlikely to be interested anyway was being nosey.

Poker players have got one of the toughest groups to please, I reckon it will be a fairly tough job anyway. Would prefer to deal with professionals than a bunch of tight arse poker players anyway lol

Maybe, £25k + incentives, OTE £35k perhaps


Title: Re: Want a job in Poker? Apply here.
Post by: Longines on January 26, 2011, 03:44:30 PM
I was going to say 35 but the fact it's based in Leeds and not London is going to knock off several k.

why 'sigh'?  I said 'experience' not 'skills'.  bit lost here tbh.  I only skim read it at lunchtime, but from what I recall i was clearly aimed at graduates looking for their 1st or 2nd job, not the experienced professional bracket?
