o Everyone,
I've searched and searched through the forums but haven't found any information on my own particular salary question. I understand that if a job offer is made, your base salary will be determined by your current salary as well as your market value (or is that the market value of the position for which you are applying?) My specific concern is this: for a number of different reasons, my salary has jumped all over the place in the past ten years. I have the qualifications to work in two different fields and when the economy crashed, my employer (any many others like it) went bankrupt, so I accepted work in my second field where jobs were more available; however, this position paid considerably less than the other.
I've applied for a position with Aramco that is in my first field--the one that is more lucrative--but I haven't worked in this field in a few years. To complicate matters further, last year I left my job and started consulting part-time in order to care for my very ill mother (who passed away last month). If a job offer were to be forthcoming, what would Aramco base my salary on?
Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this convoluted question
Best,
K.
