FSOs are also entitled to special bonuses not available on non-specialised schemes. Your salaries also rise at a much faster rate correspondingly.

The hours are mad though, prepare to be worked raw. Bosses aren’t sympathetic and they expect your immediate availability at all times. Prepare to be told in your face that you are stupid and incompetent. It really is a 24/7 calling for the cream of the crop and the bold.
