So the houses in the south east were rich pickings and too attractive a profit it seemsCalled Keepers in the New Forest. There are a few exceptions including here in the North West of England.

I applied for one of these jobs when I was a woodland officer. It was to be a demotion but the money that I would save taking a vehicle home, not needing to pay for dog food or vets bills, rifles or shooting equipment (or shooting) made it an equivalent wage. It also would have given me free time (not spending it on shooting as a hobby) which I planned to spend being a forestry consultant. I would have been far better off but I didn’t get the job. They said I wasn’t experienced enough but I personally think they weren’t experienced enough as interviewers! I’m not bitter. I promise.You know what you wont pay out high rate Tax % and get many things for free that higher earners need to fund themselves. prpblem is too many equate gross with net , got a side gig ?
Top HR department!Oh no, that'll be the ad pulled again!![]()

But folks get all messed up about gross not net and forget all about tax bands and what some folks get for freeI applied for one of these jobs when I was a woodland officer.

Great job I would say. After I didn’t get that job, I got two promotions as a forester instead. Now I couldn’t take the wage hit to go back which kinda disappoints me.
I’m sure whomever gets the job will love it.

That’s fine when you’re fifty, report back to us when you’re past retiring age. Ps. I’ll be stalking celestially then!YIf you don't want a pay cut, don't apply for the job, unless it really means a lot to you to do it. Simples.
I'm speaking as someone who made a lifestyle choice when I was very young. I've never earned anything like the amount stated in that job advert (I'm 50 now), but I've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of what I do. Had I made a choice based on income I would probably be in a very different place now, and not half so happy. Every business decision I've ever made has been based on how much enjoyment I'll get out of doing something, not how much money it'll make me.
I'm sure there are plenty of other hard-working folk out there with a similar mindset who'd love that job, regardless of the wage.
