Mumsnet Talk

Jamaisjedore- thats quite low for HE teacher & researcher as you can get more here particularly in uni of London. The outgoings are horrendously expensive so will cancel any salary benefit. My childcare is £85 per day for 2 dc, travel card £200 & £900 for my mortgage monthly.
I earn £22k p/t HE administrator & I love my job so put up with the outgoings.

Very surprised there aren't more commercial property professionals on the thread. I was on 85k when I left 2 years ago - would have been into 6 figures plus bonus if I hadn't kept leaving to have children!

Website editor, two thousand two hundred yuan per month in Wuhan, China, Working as a slave indeed!!!

Chartered accountant with 20+ years of experience, work part time as Finance Manager of a charity FTE £30K. Do masses of unpaid overtime.

Nothing

Previously from 30k starting out to 70k in junior roles in finance. Working up to 16 hours / day at first

Last job was 56k in semi public sphere but it was hell

DH "rescued" me and promptly decamped overseas so I am now reliant on him. He is lovely but it is scary

Was city solicitor - commercial property. On 69k when I left in 2005. Have had various p/t roles since then but not as a solicitor. Most of my com prop friends got made redundant in 2009/2010, most of them have roles now but not on as much money as they were earning. None of them have kids, was surprised at how financially exposed they were when thy got made redundant.

EHO - £20,000 for 24 hrs a week (£32k for full time).

I work in marketing, have done for almost 10 years and am "only" on 40k - but for the area of marketing (and the country) I work in this is actually pretty good.

teacher. £29,000 pro rata, but I only work two days.

I'm really surprised at the doctors salary. How long does it take for someone to be a consultant or a partnered GP? How many make it? I think we are all led to believe GPs all earn £100k!

I'm a software engineer on just under £37k + about £2k bonus. I feel poor but at least my work is very family friendly. Very strictly 8-5 with no after hour and weekend work. I can also take days off for DD gp appointments and illness easily as long as it's from my annual leave quota. I guess it's not too bad for a job with good work/life balance isn't it?

Dede I was a comm prop solicitor who got made redundant in 2009 from my £90kpa job in a 'city' firm. There must have been a lot of us around! I am now on half that doing something completely different

rasiah thanks for the details.

Here pay scales are national so as we live in a fairly cheap area of France I guess that's why we feel well-off.

Our mortgage is 1000€ a month, but we'll have paid it off in a couple of years (12yr loan).

Childcare is heavily subsidized, particularly for under-threes, at most I paid 800€ to the childminder per month, half of which I got back in benefits. Nowadays both DS are in school and it works out as 400-500€ a month, including lunches.

Regional Sales Manager £80K + bonus

just got my payrise yesterday thnaks for asking

Woohoo frompatistoberlin !!

Mumsnet Thread tidier.

£0, but you get biscuits sometimes.

You are not really asking if you are being unreasonable, you are asking what people earn.

I'm a student at the moment and just got a part time job which will earn me about £640 extra a month which will be a massive help.

I'm starting full time work as a trainee solicitor in the city in sept and start on £38,000.
