What's your salary?

[Maximomm]

Occupation and salary please.

I'll start

I'm a Personal Trainer. £60K

Just looked this one up.

wow what an interesting job

do you suffer any side effects of doing this work? Do you expect any long term health implications?

I assume that part of the high pay is a sort compensation for that

Some of these are such bollocks

Graphic designer
£20,000

Pearl diver. 50k to 100k p.a depending on quality of pearls.

I'm amazed you think that a job that is technical and highly skilled would be boring? DH and I both have technical and highly skilled jobs we love because they are intellectually challenging, very varied, and are vital to the functioning of society. What's not to love about doing that?

I could just as easily say why would anyone with a brain into medicine when the working conditions are so bad and yet there's no shortage of candidates every year, probably because they get more of a buzz from the social interaction with patients than I would.

Same:- £3,624.40 - full time carer.

Mohel. The basic pay isn't great but I get lots of tips.

Business consultant/interim manager £238k self- employed last year, who knows this year, but probably similar. No sick pay, bonus or car allowance and I have to find my own work.

NED at University earnings zero - its voluntary.

Academic but not in the UK, cca 73,000 GBP

140k plus 15.5% into super (similar to UK pension). Aiming for a 300k+ salary before retiring to maximise retirement income. Want 100k per year in retirement. On current salary and contributions I should be able to get that till I'm 81. Unfortunately government will no doubt change the rules by then and I'll be penalised somehow for investing in super when others have chosen to spend now and complain later.

Early Years Practitioner - 25k

Part-time Dominatrix - about 100,000 a year.

I used to be a nurse.

Is that all?

I was being cheeky in my previous post, but yours caught my attention. Is that the amount you receive for being a full carer for your son?

Conveyancing solicitor £43k.

£15-20k a month tax free consulting in UAE. I know it won't last forever so am trying to invest as much as possible. Planning on coming back to the UK in a few years just hoping the UK government doesn't wack taxes up just as I come back with all my savings. If they do I'll probably work here a bit longer or move somewhere else .

@sunnyminds76 it’s state. I am in inner London. I’m on L9.

£65k in a Finance Manager role. I am a qualified accountant, as are all of my peers.

Re: nurses vs CEOs, its all about supply and demand…there is a much much smaller pool of people qualified, suitable and willing to take on certain high-level high-responsibility jobs whereas there is a much greater pool of potential nurses. Is it frustrating, yes. Is it possible to make a massive difference unless we adopt communism…not really.

Carer's Allowance is £69.70 a week (£3,624.40 a year). It can also be backdated for up to three months.

@Alondra

Finance manager - 35k plus this year will be a 16% Xmas bonus. Bonus changes yearly this is the highest I’ve ever got.

Apologies, I thought you were talking about carer payment, not allowance. I imagine you also receive a parenting payment if you are on your own. Still, it's a ridiculous amount when your working life has been shot to pieces and Treasury is saving tens of thousands by paying you a pittance for looking after your child.

This is a bit of a dick swinging contest....

Anyway, I earn £27k

Raise your hand if this thread has reminded you why you need to give a lot less fucks about your job 🙋‍♀️

That is the carers payment for caring for a disabled or sick relative, it's just called an allowance. It is separate to child benefit.

@Alondra

I'm not sure what you mean. I get my p60 and it says around 32000 on it. If I didn't get school holidays I would get paid a bit more.
A teachers salary is worked out by 9months work(roughly- don't quote me on that!) spread across 12months so we still get paid in the holidays.
