Job that earns £150 a day?

[Wagesnages]

Just really...I am thinking of moving back to the uk and in my current job I earn (170+euros a day) so that is approx 150 pounds! And by day I mean I 9-5 at the most! Current hours are 9-4(latest)
What kind of jobs/positions In the uk would I need to get to have the same earning potential??
Not stating what I do as I am open to changing, I don’t actually think my job in the I’m would earn the same. Thank you

Is that before or after tax?

What are the relative living expenses in your country? £150 in Eastern Europe is very different to £150 in Sweden.

Similarly, which region of the UK do you intend to return to?

After tax. I’m thinking northern uk. I am neither eastern or Sweden. Living expenses are a pretty similar to the uk imo (possibly tiny bit more expensive in some areas.

Assuming you mean £150 a day net, you’re looking at anything with a salary £55,000 plus.

There are too many variables to say what job that means you could do. In a northern U.K town or city, that sort of salary would require a lot of seniority; in London, it would be a more middle management figure. And whilst you’re “open to changing” what you do, there are very few careers you can just walk into with an open mind! You’d need experience and / or qualifications.

It's also not a given in the UK for those types of jobs to have 9 to 5 hours.

It would either be 'hours as and when required' which is likely to be longer hours, or be available for emails, conference calls etc outside those hours, plus travelling or shifts if you're a doctor, nurse practitioner or similar.

So is anyone going to give suggestions or are ppl going to continually tell me what hoops I need to jump through?? All I am looking for is a list/ideas really

How can we give you suggestions without knowing what you currently do or what you’re potentially qualified for??

At that level of pay you could be CEO of a small regional charity. You could be a public sector directorate head. You could be a solicitor. You could be a headteacher.

Are you qualified for or experienced in any of those things?

But the point is that, in the UK, you would be exceptionally lucky to walk into a relatively well paid job with standard office hours without any clue about your qualifications or experience.

The list of ideas would be very short.

Aldi supermarket managers probably earn that amount of money, but it will be very very far from 9-5. Maybe 60-80 hours a week with a good portion of that being evenings and weekends.

If you worked for a multinational, you would have to conference call with colleagues in the US/Far East very early in the morning (5-6 am) or in the evening (9-10 pm).

I’m a teacher (primary) but I have another degree. I know teachers don’t earn the same that is why I ask!! I don’t want to be a head teacher...

Well then no - you wouldn’t earn that sort of salary as a primary school class teacher without additional responsibilities. Education salaries are banded and graded and higher levels of pay come with seniority and responsibility. Plus teachers in the UK do not work 9-4 once you factor in prep time.

Check REED they have some good teaching salaries

And if your only working experience is in teaching then you won’t walk into a manager-level job in another profession or sector. It sounds like you might be better off staying where you are.

Can we clarify the '£150 a day' - is this before or after tax and other deductions or is it a day rate, which doesn't really work like that in the UK unless some sort of contractor, and then your take home would obviously depend on how many days a year you worked.

Primary teachers probably earn about £25-30k pa salaried, which after pension, tax and NI contributions is about £1600-1900 pm.

Do you want to stay as a teacher? 55k is usually a starting salary for a contracted admin person in financial services - these roles are often given to former teachers but assumes your written English / maths / leadership skills would be on a par with UK trained teachers.

Senior PAs seem to earn quite good salaries, but I'd be surprised if the hours were 9 to 5 for that salary as you'd be at your bosses beck and call.

£55k in admin sounds unusual, especially in the north of the UK.

Get a job in oil and gas NE Scotland. Average wage is about that much

Supply teacher.

If you want to earn approx £55k per annum in the North of England, you will need to be in a role for which you are either highly qualified, or have significant experience. There are no jobs in the UK that I can think of which you can walk in without skills and experience and earn that level as a starting salary.

Senior teachers with additional responsibilities in the UK (London and the SE certainly) can easily earn in the £40-50K bracket. Won't be a 9-5 at that level though.

55k for a contractor admin person with IT skills and previous work experience (even if it is teaching) is possible in finance in Manchester / Sheffield / Leeds. Similar roles would offer 100k plus in London and the SE. As they are contractor roles (often renewed every 3-6 months) often specific financial admin experience isn’t required initially.

Train driver. But you’d have weird hours.

PAs in my firm can be on 55+ but 9-5 it isn't, and usually with a lot of experience,. You dont just walk into it. London though, our regional offices are nowhere near that.

I earn that gross as a junior PM for a high street bank. But you wouldn’t get my job straight in.

Sorry that sounds snotty. I mean that in the sense that it just doesn’t happen in my company!

If you showed aptitude and effort, you could probably walk into an IT sales/business development job in London for 60K pa.

£55K in the UK is an excellent salary OP, I think I’m right in saying it’s about twice the average wage. It’s the type of salary you are likely only to command with significant qualifications and experience in a field.
