Just being nosey really, I just got a new job and I'm thrilled. I was going nowhere in life for a long time, was at a dead end in many respects, but I finally have a loving partner, my children are happy and I've just got a job at a bank Grin what is your job?

PA/EA for corporate companies but central government. Used to be legal sec for 8 years.

Retraining in HR/paralegal undecided which yet but DB is setting up his own small business and if this takes off prob takes 5 years or so he’s asked me to run the admin/accounts side. So that’s my long term goal if possible.

Software engineer. I like it a lot, I can work from anywhere as long as I have a laptop, I don't have to interact with people and I usually watch TV while I work as I'm 100% remote. I also get paid in the top 1% to solve puzzles all day, what's not to love?

Clinical Senior Lecturer, working for both a University medical school and an NHS Trust.

Mixture of management, teaching, research and clinical work. I love it, no two days are the same, it’s always interesting, but always far more work than available time so I struggle to look after myself well.

One teenager and a (full time clinical consultant) husband. Elderly parents on both sides needing support. House and garden exist in a state of mild to moderate chaos!

I own a restaurant and work in it full time too.

I’m currently unemployed, but I’m a qualified actuary with around 12 years experience, we’ve just moved countries which meant having to qualify again, so it will be weird going back to early career when I get back to work after christmas.

I'm a crime writer and no, you won't have heard of me. Main perk is that my mother tells people her daughter kills people for money.

I also manage a small portfolio of rental properties.
