4th month- $1600, no perdiem OR $1600 plus hourly pay plus perdiem if OE started
And later the min 50 hour guarantee at $80 an hour for the 1st year! I think I get the zest of it.
I am saving for the change as well. Let's see how it goes. But wanted to know ahead of time, maybe if it is a long wait, might be a good idea to get a second part time job!
Almost... Your first year pay doesn't start upon starting OE. It starts upon completing it. The odds of you starting at Atlas this year and completing OE in 4 months are terrible given the hiring spree going on. Months 3 and 4 will likely be $1600 a month. If you spend time on OE during those months you do get $56 a day Per Diem. Budget for $1600 a month before taxes.
