On the back of the goal salary thread I've just read, I thought it would be interesting to hear how you've achieved where you are career wise if you've done well for yourself.
I'm 31 and still in an entry level role. I have had my 2 children so can focus on my career going forward. At the minute I'm on the bottom rung of the ladder in a call centre. I earn 12k part time.
I just have no idea how some of us have the expectation that next year they'll earn more or be promoted, it's just quite abstract to me. I'll go first;
2005 - Saturday job in retail
2008 - part time call centre along side uni
2009 - quit uni, worked in bank.
2010 - left first bank for second bank (promotion)
2011 - got forced out. Went back to uni
2015 - graduated as teacher. Hated my life.
2017 - call centre
2021 - still here..
Feel like I've wasted my first 15 years of earning doing nothing but keep my head above water, rather than being productive.
