Did the pay change when PAE took over?

You would have to contact PAE and ask them that, I'm not sure.

Hello All,

I just got an email from PAE requesting my resume to be updated. So since I have not applied for Antarctica since Oct 2011 I am figuring that they are hiring. I would have taken it, the Winter-Over 2012 contract, but I found out that I was having a kid so that took priority.

I just returned from McM on a PAE contract. I was making 1200 a week.

Was that after taxes?

They must have increased the pay cause when I was there last year I only brought home about 3,500.00 a month after taxs. And I claimed zero deductions.
