What's tinpot about it? The salary is poor, that's for sure.
For a good 'one of the bhoys'.I agree. A good 'in' if that's your chosen career path.
i guess the successful applicant can look forward to a raise in April thenMinimum wage on a 40 hour work week will be more than that in April.
That's exactly what's tinpot about itWhat's tinpot about it? The salary is poor, that's for sure.
It's the national team, so it may well be less demanding than a full time team.£25k ?? Is it for one day a week or something??!

Reads like they’re looking for experience…That would be a very good first job for a graduate. However, if they're seriously looking for someone with proper experience in that field, for that salary, then they're on to plums.
A great stepping stone job for a graduate, though.
Ok Jeff BezosSalary seems low

"Analyse large datasets to identify patterns, trends, opportunities and insights that can drive performance decisions."
Pay peanuts, get monkeys. Everyone thinks analytics is a silver bullet, but half-arsing it is pointless, if not actively destructive. In all likelihood, wasting £25k/year is the best case scenario here. They're more likely to end up with bad data fuelling bad insights and bad decision making.
I work in a very similar field and the data scientists at my place are on £80-90k (in London). £25k isn’t even acceptable for a data analyst.Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Seems? Do that role in tech and you’re on six figuresSalary seems low
For an industry with so much money football appears to have an issue with paying fair/market level wages.A pal got headhunted and offered a similar role at Liverpool who were his boyhood club and turned it down as the wage was embarrassing, but there's enough folk who want their foot in the door to football that they can take advantage of it.
Means you will only get Timmy fanatics - which is the point.What's tinpot about it? The salary is poor, that's for sure.
its what we all work for isnt itWhy tinpot?
Are you basing it on the salary?
Never seen a job ad for a 'Scientist' that didn't require a suitable qualification in a 'Science'. Could be just a runner type job or is set low because they already have a person (internally) in mind. Seen that in places I've worked.Salary is only about £20k less than the average for that role lol, I’m sure they’ll be flooded with experienced applicants.
You've answered your own questionWhat's tinpot about it? The salary is poor, that's for sure.
There's going to be some disappointed gold diggers when they realise that the "data scientist" that they've bagged is on the same annual salary as a Tesco till operator.What's tinpot about it? The salary is poor, that's for sure.
