Is that to attend to animals that are tested on? What's that like?

She’s home based.
It’s more likely as a technical advisory role- the people to whom I’m forever grateful when I have a complicated case and need specialist advice on a medicine.

Local authority - housing - 20k for 3 days.For what I do & where I live, it's not a bad wage.
A lot of jobs I see advertised locally with more responsibility and less flexibility are paid significantly less (believe it or not)

snarkygal · 26/11/2024 23:33

28k plus about 20k bonus, but that's uncapped and is quite variable. I only work two days though. Scientific instrumentation sales, I've been doing it for 15 years and the company I work for pays quite badly as it's small, but no big company would allow me to work part time. I don't have kids and have a very small mortgage, so I fart about doing art and hiking in the hills etc with my dogs as life is too short to be stuck behind a computer. I was in senior management but it made me want to gouge my eyes out. This way I have the best of both worlds and I feel like I've managed to part-time retire in my forties when still in good health.

tachetastic · 26/11/2024 23:35

Public policy, 28 years experience, around £225k, and due to this thread I have just realised I suffered a massive paycut in the last year as I am paid in Euros. 🙄

48k for two days per week is brilliant! I wouldn't say that's badly paid.

£43.6k as a newly qualified social worker. Retrained at 45 after kids and health problems. Best thing I ever did.

Wow that's a LOT higher than I thought it would be.

Is that in London? What was the training like?

Our company pays badly for the industry we're in, so relative to others it's bad.

But yeah I'm not complaining, it's great for a part-time role.

Not enough to eat properly or put the heating on.

Carer for my youngest (disabled) child.

44k but earn 60k most years by picking up extra shifts. Midwife.

thehourwaslate · 26/11/2024 23:59

I am astounded by these salaries.

I’m on 27k for 4 days a week. Marketing Exec and I’ve been there 7 years. I’ve got a degree. Where have I gone wrong??!

Thriwit · 27/11/2024 00:00

Senior scientist, £35k. 20 years in science, 9 at senior level now.
I wish I knew how to earn more, but I can’t see a way.

I'm a charity CEO, £77,500. Astonishing difference.

I would like to move to a larger company in the private sector but once you're associated with charity, they assume you don't know how to make money.

whatthedickens5 · 27/11/2024 00:04

PA on £42k in a pretty stress free job that I absolutely love (contributing to changing lives and not lining the pockets of a corporation). Have 7 weeks leave, good pension and work from home half of the week. With experience I could earn more but life is too short and have a perfect work/life balance. Never been motivated by money or things and I'm enjoying the ride!

Thunderpants88 · 27/11/2024 00:08

£80k plus company car. 3 days a week 9-5 20 minutes drive from my house. Private healthcare role

TuesdayNameChangeArama · 26/11/2024 22:58

Name changed for obvious reasons.

Not bragging - I'm sharing in case it helps someone else who is entering their career (especially if they didn't do so well academically).

I'm a Vice President (VP) in the Marketing team of a Nasdaq listed company.

I have 30 years professional experience, starting in media sales, moving on to media planning, then into tech start-ups (in digital deliver/program management roles) and finally into the leadership teams of start-ups (Chief Communications Officer).

My basic is ~£140K
I get ~£30K shares per year
And ~£25K bonus
Company matches my contribution to 11% into pension
I also get a car allowance of £800 per month

I failed my A-Levels (nothing above a D).

I got a solid degree (2.1) but from a second-rate university.

The way I did it was by working stupidly hard from the age of 20-35 - my sole objective was to be the most useful and most valuable employee in every company I worked for. It was a fairly miserable existence, I lived on porridge and worked 12-14 hours a day. But that hard-lug set me up for more comfort and choices in my late 30's and now in my late 40's I work a normal 40-45 hour week, it's fairly high pressure, but not terrible.

Edited

You went to university, you have 30 years experience and you're still in your forties.

Respect.
