Seeing a lot about the national wage being £35k.
As women can we share our stories, age and salary? I'm 35, been in my industry for around a decade. Currently on 45k, going up to 46k after a little negotiation. Just started the role and am pregnant.
Dont think my new employer was happy (I told them wayyy in advance when i was jus gone 12 weeks) and not expecting any kind of maternity pay from them as will only be in the job 6 months before i have to leave.
Some of my friends get paid 70/80/90k in finance. Whats the average of everyone here?

You can look up all kinds of average salary data that actually comes from proper data, is there a reason you want work out an average of random people who may or may not be telling the truth?
Will you be keeping a running spreadsheet?

Lots of these on here, fairly recently too. Doesn't always end well, tends to attract either end of the spectrum.
I’m 35, on just under 80k but work 0.8 FTE, so about 63k.

It's a 'chat' message board, i didn't want to trawl through data, i wanted an open discussion with women.
Thanks for your input. I'll send you the spreadsheet when it's ready.

I’m 36 and on £68k, however I work 4 days a week so actual salary is £54,400. I’ve got 2 DC and am happy with my salary for my age, but will definitely look to go up after my current maternity leave.

No need, I can't imagine a single reason that I would be interested in some meaningless numbers but you crack on

36 and 84k, work in IT. Have been at the same company for 11 years, in a product lead/owner type role rather than developer. However, I have had to move roles internally a lot to get promoted and get pay rises, it's really hard to get them if you stay where you are in my company. I have had 5 different roles in that time but have never regretted a move as it's always led to better things and given me new experiences, and I've learnt a lot. Sadly, I think this is the case in lots of companies, if you stay where you are - even if you're great at what you do and know loads, moving is the only way to progress.

Agree but wanted some opinions.
What sector are you in? and how long have you been in it? I can't figure out if its better to stay in one industry or retrain to get the money. Baby is coming soon and I want to be in the best position I can be finance wise.

@BrandySnaps1 it sounds as though you’re equating a high salary with success and the comment to @GrowAndGreen about hers being ‘an admirable profession’ came across as rather patronising, given that she was describing a salary lower than most others who responded.
