What is your salary and what is your job role?

[YourBusyTurtle]

Been at my company 5 years and am earning under £35K. Albeit did start on £19k.

Senior social worker - 50k

Eyfs teacher - London weighting and upper pay scale so about 52k. 12 years experience but pretty stagnant over the covid years.

Why are you asking? It feels a bit bizarre tbh

Executive assistant £52k

CEO for a private equity owned business. Up to £420k annually and equity pay out after 5-7yrs. 30yrs experience

Can I ask your education? Did you move up on what you knew or who you knew?

Neonatal intensive care nurse £32k 30 hours a week, degree and extra qualifications afterwards.

Thankfully DH earns well and we are mortgage free so I can continue doing a job I love. As stressful as it is, it can be rewarding

I would love a job that pays a decent bonus or a non-contributory pension. So it's either financial services or local/central government next...

I'm glad you were honest, it's eye opening seeing the difference in pay for so many people/industries.

I'll be honest though, after seeing your salary, I feel even poorer than ever! 😢💔

marketing director, professional services £68k. underpaid. stayed too long at the same place

Secondary school attendance officer part time 22 hrs term time only £15k

I would like to understand what sacrifices you have had to make in order to reach that position. Big 4 are notorious for long hours, weekend working etc - was that your experience?

Do you think the salaries stated are actually true? I wish people would elaborate on education to provide some useful insight

Civil service grade 6 (London) £72k, the CSJ website will show you a range of jobs so even if I was lying, you know they exist, they also have the job requirements. Technically speaking I only require some technical certifications (that don't cost a huge amount to get) but the reality is my degree, then my postgrad got me to my traineeship and my entry level roles, which kickstarted my career and enabled me to build experience and specialise in something actually unrelated to my higher education, my employer has paid for all my qualifications since (which have probably cost more than my degree did in total). Plus in the civil service getting to G6 usually requires leadership experience so you need some years managing, leading teams under your belt.

Local authority specialist planner. 25 years experience and earn c£48k FTE, but work 4 days.

Work very flexibly and have taken foot off gas in recent years as husband became a partner in his own business, so I do most of home/kids related stuff...

About £975k although it varies year on year. Law firm corporate partner. Stressful but also enjoyable

@ForeverDelayedEpiphany I personally find it really interesting and motivating. Do you have children? If you do and have a partner do they have a demanding role too?

What do you do for your jobs then?
And what is a very high earner? What salary?

Sorry wrong tag, meant to be @SalaryAnswer

Do you think the salaries stated are actually true?

It would mean that only those in the top - what 10%?- of earnings are contributing to this thread.

Vet
32 years qualified.
33 hours a week daytime plus 1:3 nights on call on top.
£59000 all in

Between us, DH and I currently earn about £300k a year. We pay a LOT of tax, stick a lot in our pensions, have a high mortgage (not a particularly grand house, but London), a decent investment portfolio and some nice things. DC childcare (which will eventually become DC school fees) is also quite spenny.

We’re certainly very comfortable, but nowhere near as liquid as you might think.

Middle grade doctor, 5-6 years post qualification but it’s actually 11 between LTFT, mat leave, career break etc. £46k for 4 days. FML.

What?!?!
NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR?!?!
Excuse me whilst I fall off my chair.....

220k + 35% - 50% bonus. Investment Director in a venture unit of a large multinational. 19 years experience.

@MidnightMusing5 mine is true. I have a degree and two masters in my field, and did the masters degrees while working full time. I have worked my way up right from the bottom.

I agree with a previous poster who says it is good for people to be open about such things; if we fail to shine a light on earnings, we perpetuate the inequality between male and female, and fail to recognise our true worth.
