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.

So, she's maybe 49 and has around 28yrs experience. People round up, what's the issue?

Architect 7 yrs post qualification on £47k, minimum pension, no bonus, maternity pay, paid overtime or any other perks. Some flexibility, but often travel and long days are expected.

6 years in uni and a further qualification course and exam , including 3 years work experience. I wish I hadn’t bothered 🤦‍♀️

I’m seriously considering retraining or just getting another job that doesn’t require a qualification and carries less responsibility.

Graphic designer in the third sector - £24.5k education to degree level but living in rural Wales

Consultant in niche industry. £120k FTE

I care for a disabled relative full time and receive carers allowance of £81.30 a week. I have a BA and an MA. I am looking for a part time job which can fit around my caring responsibilities

Admin for the local council. My full time salary would be around £26k, but I work part time due to childcare.

Prior to that, I was a software tester earning £30k full time after (that was around 3 years ago, and my salary after 2 years in the role).

Senior Project Manager. £60k, been in this role 2 years. Fully remote so balances.

Civil Servant. Tax specialist. £65K.

It is good, I’m taking notes for my DD. I’m a SAHM and always had jobs instead of a career, I’m not stupid but Dd is very bright. It’s fine for her to choose whatever path she wants but it so bloody helpful to understand what different choices may look like for her life,

I really appreciate all the women posting on here.

Men have been out earning and out owning women for way too long imo. It gives me a nice warm glow seeing women succeed at whatever level. 🙌🏽 There is nothing wrong with doing a job because you love it but girls also need to know what their earning potential is.

In my 50s - 30 years experience in HR.
£ 175,000 but on an expat package as currently outside the UK.

Private school fees covered on top when kids were younger (in their 20s now).

i am very fortunate and am grateful every day.

Less than 5 years left to work.

Recovery truck driver £32k basic but around £45 with overtime

Civil servant (Central Government- Westminster) and about £75K

Re: '30 years experience while still in your 40s' she could have done what I did, get a job after A Levels in the time before university was the standard expectation for anyone academic and work my way up. Do a degree as part time day release paid for my employer.

OK the trade off is that you don't get the 'university experience' but you also don't have any student debt and when your peers are graduating, you're already in industry with experience and likely earning more than the basic starting salary. On balance I highly recommend it and think there should be more of it in certain careers.

I'm another civil servant but in a specialist technical role for an arms length body. We don't all work for central government. My area is disaster planning for a certain specialism and we also offer commercial services in a related field because thankfully what we plan for doesn't happen very often.

I'm a G7 on £55k which is a reflection of my experience, I don't have line management responsibilities but I'm considered to be a global expert in my field - I travel abroad to present at conferences etc but I can also be found wading through mud in a boiler suit, it's a very varied job and a world away from what people imagine a civil servant does. The pay isn't great compared with the private sector or other career paths, although the pension does compensate to a degree especially for people who joined before 5-10 years ago but I'm not one to job hop or relocate and I earn enough to pay the bills and have a life.
