IABU to ask you to guess my pay from my job description?

[upyourninja]

If I describe my job, could you tell me what you think my pay might be/what would be fair remuneration?

Highly specialised role within a not-for-profit sector
Most jobs in London/south of UK, so had to relocate to get into the industry
Required to travel overseas 4-6 times per year
Manage a small team, which is the department for the whole company
Present our product to international clients; most of our business is in Asia
High level of expertise and 8 years of experience in the industry
Take part in several senior committees within the company
Daily international meetings via conference
Originate, authorise, and sign contracts
Report on trends, achieve a set target revenue (increasing every year despite a difficult market)

High academic qualifications are required and many colleagues are Oxbridge/Ivy League educated.

And... out of curiosity, what is your profession and do you feel adequately compensated for your time?

And I bring in less than half a million dollars net. I may be taking over another revenue stream next year which would take it to over $1 million.

Depends on budget really. Small company and small budgets to raise / sign off might make it lower. Maybe £35-50k

Um based on the fact many Oxbridge grads are in it and that it's in the south east, I'm guessing £60-70k? But being NGO makes it hard to guess.

Cross post! With £500k revenue I'd say about £45k

Oh and a bit more info - last year I brought in $40k more revenue than budgeted. Similar in the two years before that. I work hard and it was a shambles before I took over

Sorry, not intending to drip feed; you're just raising some questions I didn't think to address in my OP.

42k

70k

What an amazing range of salaries you're guessing!

South? Could be anything really from £50k-£100k+.

Better question, do you think you are fairly paid?

The job description sounds fancy, but that doesn't mean it's difficult;
For example 'international meetings' - I could say that when I liaise with my polish cleaner.
Are you good at the job?

I would say £30k outside of London, £40k inside London based on a few roles I have recruited for in the past but really depends on sector and size of company.

In a different sector I could see you being paid 3-4x what I guessed.

£30K ?

Well???????

£35-40k

I would have thought high academic qualifications and Oxbridge doesn't mean a great deal. Plenty of people like that earn a pittance. I wouldn't know about the rest but that bit jumped out at me, because to me it wouldn't suggest high earning and I think it's expected to.

So go on what do you earn ?

Good point arethereanyleft - international meetings range from with colleagues, agents, my counterparts in other countries, and with people from directors to managers.

£40K. Can you tell us now, please?

I'm a counsellor. Working for agencies, not adequately compensated, working privately, yes. However, I retrained to do this, and sometimes a lot at the moment regret not staying in my previous field.

500k gross profit in dollars?

Quite interesting!

Know nothing about not for profit. I'd say 50k £ ish.

I work in fresh food Europe wide. Yes adequately rewarded (family business though so all totally transparent) bit very very difficult juggling it around young children as it is a bit 24/7 and always urgent.

Have you had enough guessing now? It will spoil my fun

I am very good at my job. Everyone agrees

It's getting a bit boring here maybe time to answer the questions?

29k

As a PP said, job specs are not a good indicator of what your worth is.

Are you indispensable to the team? Expected to stay late, take calls in the evening, truly be the "end of the line" for sign offs and responsibility? If so, I'd expect more.

My guess is 70k.
