If you're on the 'mumsnet six figures' salary what do you do and what geographical region is the role in?

[flashbac]

I'd love to earn six figures and keen to look into how I could make this happen if possible.

Engineering, South West but work from home

Law - London

Director if HR and OD. Complex public sector organisation so although London based, salary would be similar elsewhere in the country. Usually work a 55 hour week and was checking emails yesterday.

South East, IT consultant specialising in data security

DH. Midlands. Own company.

Please don't claim your husband's salary as your own. Embarrassing. Earn it yourself.

Chief operating officer , London.

Lawyer - financial services law and regulation based in London but mainly WFH at the moment

Partner in law firm. London (although live just outside and commute in when not WFH).

It makes me cringe when women come onto these threads with their DH's salary, happens every time.

Lawyer. London.

Communications Director, public sector, London

Agree with @ComtesseDeSpair

Lots of people fancy a 6 figure salary. What’s your job at the moment? What are your skills and qualifications? What are you prepared to sacrifice?

Secondary Headteacher - Southern England

Dh not me (sadly). In house lawyer East Mids.

Another in-house lawyer in London (but live just outside London) - manufacturing.

I’m not on six figures but you can at my organisation as a manager or above - public sector body.

And this is in London.

Chief Operating Officer in Tech, EU

I run a boarding cattery in London. I only work part time but run the business. It’s amazing and I love it. Had to have capital to start it up though.

I agree that’s it’s a bit pointless (and cringy) to put your husband’s income on these threads.

This is mumsnet and most of the women posting here will have combined their career with having children in a way different to the average man’s career trajectory. What I find interesting on threads like this is the mothers who have managed to reach these high salaries.

Not in the UK. I am in the US. Tenured academic at an R1 university. I earn 145,000 USD. DH is a primary care physician and an academic at an Ivy League University in the same city. He earns close to 350,000 USD. Both of us have PhDs and we were both 29 when we finished studying (and DH then went into residency). DH has some student loans which we are paying off but I don’t (I was an international student on scholarships).

The ones I know are in business intelligence, insurance, tax, construction and professional sport.

Yorkshire.

Oh, I forgot the motor sport engineer!
