To ask you all how much you get paid?

[UnderWorkedOverPaid]

Name-Change if you want to - I have. AIBU to be curious what other people earn?

I am a nurse. Qualified 6 years. Work 30 hours a week.

I earn about 25k (with unsocial hours etc added in)

MYOB.

Doctor, qualified in 2007, trained for 5 years, 30 odd grand training debt. Earn £13,500 before tax for 20 hours per week. Come out with around £900 a month. No-one believes me but it's true.

Just under £21 pro rata (30hrs rather than FT of 37.5hrs) in the NHS (admin). Earning significantly less than my old job also NHS (admin) in Central London but I'm now a 15min drive from work and have gained hours to my free time now I'm not commuting :)

I can take back flexi for any extra time I work but no paid overtime or other benefits (even have to buy my own post-it notes and other stationery items!!)

DH has his own design consultancy business, not sure of turnover in his first year but he brings home a salary similar to mine. Rest goes back into the company. He's been paying himself the same monthly wage for the last 6 six years since he started freelancing!

Being out of London, our cost of living is lower but with childcare we just break even.

Until last year about £60k pro-rata as a marketing head in a big co. The industry is glamorous and competitive so that tends to the keep wages less high than equivalents in FMCG / Finance but I also think the fact I was promoted through the company and too humble to ever ask for a wage rise meant that my salary was at the low end. The same job in another co was going for £75k.

I now am freelance and have billed £2.2k since the beginning of the year - for around 2-3 weeks work.

The freedom - priceless.

Agree with Thomas Bodley that conspiracy of silence around salaries tends to keep them low / unequal.

Knackeredmother - I am shocked

knackeredmonther - that's awful

Candleshoe, I don't think anyone realises how bad doctors pay is now. Starting salary is £21 k full time although some jobs pay more if you do nights/weekends.
I do at least 4 hours unpaid a week and the nurses earn more than me!
I love my job though.

Ok, I earn £40k and dh earns around £85k

I agree knackeredmother (DP will be an F1 in August, I think we will be living on less than we are now & he will be working all sorts of godawful hours). & I think deeply unreasonable to take away free hospital accommodation - jobs just came out & luckily he will be able to commute from our house, but we could have quite easily ended up having to pay for hospital accommodation for him away from the family home out of his £21k).

However, doctors working full time & passing through the various progressions do have much higher earning potential that nurses ever do. My dad is a consultant working 3 days a week for £100k (he is however v experienced & at the top of his game).

I am so surprised by the vast differences in what we all earn.

But it goes to show how mumsnet is such a great mixture of people.

Lots of people aren't answering saying what job they do.

I am an actuary earning 60k plus approximately 20% bonus plus benefits and I work 9-5.

I could earn a lot more working for a consultancy or about double contracting, but I took a pay cut to do the job I an doing as there is no overtime expected and flexible so fairly family friendly.

£15,000 pa before tax. I work 37 hours per week for a bank at a call centre helping people who are behind in their mortgage payments.

DH works a part-time minimum wage job and looks after the DSs around my hours and is also doing a training course in the hope of getting a better job.

We bring in about £21k pa before tax between us.

Me - £0 - haven't worked since I got married eleven years ago.

Husband (Army) - c£50k but due to rise to c£70k at the end of the year + bonuses and allowances and subsidised housing (although we currently live in our own home).

Sorry - should say that I have done some voluntary, unpaid work here and there but not since having children.

I am a local government worker in a Greater Manchester borough earning £35k FTE, which is about £21k for the 3 days a week I do.

I started on £16k in 2002 and have worked my way up - £24k in 2005, £31k in 2008.

My DH also started on £16k albeit in 1997 and now earns £65k plus the odd (small) bonus here and there. He's in the private sector although most of his contracts are for publically owned companies.

I'm actually one of the few women I know with such a vast disparity between their wage and their DH's. Most of them earn more than their DH as well.

Police officer. 9 years service, £35000, we pay 12% into our pension. DH earns slightly more. Both counting down until we have our 30 years in when we can retire and hopefully all the crappy hours will have been worth it.

Self-employed arts management admin, 1 freelance contract 20ish hours pw. Around 13K. I've a degree and 2 MAs, about to start another PG qualification, again funded entirely by me.

No childcare or travel costs but still threads like these make me want to weep into my cornflakes. Not because I think I deserve more for what I do, but my careers advice was of the 'do any degree and you'll get a great, well-paid job' variety and I could have done so much better.

Me, nothing at all (unless you include half the rental income from our old house which is $8k).

Last year DH was paid about 150,000pounds.

This year it will be about AUD$250,000.

My last full time job before having children paid AUD$75,000.

I've been intrigued by what some solicitors earn here (currently training to be one). But I also have personal knowledge that not all partners in law firms are financially well off. Plus DHs salary isn't anything to write home about and he's now a Barrister.

Currently I earn £55 per week in carers allowance when the nurses who are adequately trained to care for DS are on 40k. It's a good job DS is worth it .

I agree Badpoet - lousy careers advice given to me too - I'm sure I could've been a tax consultant on £48K - I got an A at GCSE maths!

I'm a fundraising manager and earn £20k for 30hrs pwk. DH is a chef, and earns about £11k for the same number of hours. We're in the South. I love working in fundraising, and am unlikely to do anything else, which means I probably won't ever earn more than about £40k FT, but that's fine

£12 p/h for the care work I do every alternate weekend (lower hourly rate for Mon-Fri)
£20 p/h for piano and violin lessons (only have a couple of hours teaching per week at the moment though :(

About £100k as a lawyer. DH earns more.
