Choose the right category

The micro-credit financial services row is distinct from ordinary business and banking rows. It is not an average salary survey for loan officers or a rate for self-employed agents.

Questions to settle before accepting

Check travel reimbursement, phone or data provision, collection procedures, portfolio targets and the treatment of overdue loans in incentive calculations.

Make a fair comparison

Separate the wage from a float used to make work trips. Record the expected territory and compare the realistic personal cost of reaching it.
