23 as it is at 33. Is it because at 23 you are more likely to get fired for misconduct and them not have to pay out? I can understand why a 50 year old would pay a lot as they are lickely to get binned off and replaced but surely the 30-50 age range would be very low risk.

Probably would take you longer to get a job at 33 than 23 because you might be more choosy, ie looking for something you currently do paying similar to what you get now?
