If you needed to earn net of tax £2k a month what would you do?

[easylifewanted]

I’m a chartered accountant and need to earn £2.2k a month after tax. I have a massively stressful home lift which means I can’t cope with my stressful job anymore.

Happy to do anything so long as there’s job security and I earn what I need to. What would you do? It needs to be as stress free as possible.

Finance officer role in public sector?

Or look at revenue roles in law firms

Civil service.

Loads of accountancy/ financial audit roles on CS jobs ATM - full time at C1/SEO would bring in over 2.2k after tax and contributions.

Excellent working conditions compared to private sector (although the lack of drive & bureaucracy will drive you mad for a bit).

Lots of opportunities to move up the ladder once you've caught your breath & recovered.

😂😂😂

As someone who also works in a Big 4 and industry prior to that, 75k is not "low paid"

Not sure how much you think accountants earn but it's wildly off

People think everyone gets paid as if they are a partner in Big4 that’s the problem, same for lawyers and bankers.

This is Mumsnet. £75k is barely above starting level for graduate trainee level in these parts.

In house internal audit (not private practice, that would be just as stressful!) is a great idea if you want lower stress, but be warned that your technical skills will become out of date and returning to accounting will be more difficult after a few years.

Have a look at the civil service, I think you'd be at SEO grade or above to get to £2200 net (some departments pay more than others).

I work for a large medical charity and the culture is a million miles away from the city firm I worked at prior to that. I did take a bit of a pay cut but not significantly so, but I now also work from home, have flexi time and work 4 days a week.
my understanding is a lot of charities will have similar cultures, people are there because they’re committed to the cause as much as anything else.

The more you earn the more pressure/stress there is.

I’m not sure I agree with the more you earn the more stress there is. I could cope with the work stress if my home life stress wasn’t huge and going to increase exponentially, I can’t cope with both.

Go in house OP, it’s honestly so easy and not stressful! Just find a good company with a solid team, attrition is when stress starts
