Hey Bob i thought the idea of IWA'S was that you had to negotiate your
own pay rate hence the $120000 figure sounds to be a myth as i could
go into negotiations with the company and be a poor negotiator and
only achieve $80000 but perhaps the next bloke to go in might
negotiate $95000 but you are definitely not allowed to disclose what
you negotiated to any one by LAW .
NO bloody thanks
