Yeah thats just basic but not taking into account the uplifts for working nights and weekends! Depending on the department, there might be plenty overtime too although dont bank on it
Yeah i also agree with what alxndr has said 100%. Get your head into PPS too and learn how that works(mention in your interview that your aware of this) might give you brownie points ha
