  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Good. I pay rent back at home in Exmoor so it can cost me a lot when I go home and paying rent in Preston however IBM do help with living costs whilst I am renting from my home location. Its difficult with some costs as I live in Exmoor but my base is Manchester which does not make sense but it is just about managable with the support of living cost.
