Possible routes

). So which one excites you?I’ve never heard of this being done this way before and don’t trust it at all. In particular the large gap in salary sounds very suspect to me.
If they were really hiring for the manager job they would hire for it and pay accordingly. The only reason to do this ridiculous 6 month thing at a lower salary is to avoid doing it or at least paying full whack when they do.
If you go this route get it in writing as a legal commitment. Anything less is a 35k job in my view.

49k/12 = 4083 gross per month
35/12 = 2916 x6 plus 52/12= 4333 totals, 43494 in your first year.
so you'd be 6k down after 12 months.
And let's assume you might get an inflationary pay rise at option 1 at the end of the year.
Fundamentally it'll take you 2.5 years to catch back the salary, At that point you'd probably have moved on and got a bigger pay rise at another place.
The impact of a lower salary, compounds over time, and takes ages to claw back.
However, how you feel about the options is also important as is their future viability and the role itself. But go for the money, you'll be thinking about the better paid (up front) job on the s
t days in the lower paid one.

In my experience a company saying you'll have this or that in 6 months are full of it, you're either worth that now or not.
I suspect they think once your in you'll be happy with your 35k
100% this.I suspect they think once your in you'll be happy with your 35k
Put the ball in their court - tell company 2 that you have an attractive but non-management offer from another company. You are interested in the management role but it must be from day 1. Otherwise you'll go for the other role.

Thank you for the good advice,
Currently my package is 42k which includes a 6k car allowance.
The 1st option has now changed there offer.
Originally 45k and a 3k car allowance
New 48k and a company van (new caddy)
2nd option
I discussed the possibility of a salary increase each month which became apparent to be a issue very quickly and I also mentioned my concerns of what would happen at the end of 6 months and I was told legally the position would need to be advertised internally however there is no comp currently
Definitely option 1. That's basically even more money - van on top of the salary and car allowance. While Option 2 have basically admitted their plan - tlel you at the six month mark "sorry, someone else got the job".Currently my package is 42k which includes a 6k car allowance.

On that basis option 2 isn't even worth considering in my opinion. They sound like a sCurrently my package is 42k which includes a 6k car allowance.
