To ask your salary, profession, location and years of experience

[Nosey77]

I know I am being really nosey and it's not very British to talk money. I was inspired by another thread where people are asking questions to all sorts of careers.

I was just wondering if people could take part and say what they do, how much they earn and where they are. Also, could you also provide advice on how to enter the profession and whether you recommend it. Thought this might be more u self than just go ogling as I get real life opinions and have found the other thread really insightful

Please let's not make anyone feel bad for what they are. I'll start

Retail assistant, 3 year, Leeds, £6.50ph. Whilst I actually enjoy it, I'm looking to leave. No advice needed - just hand in tour CVs

TTWK

wibble nope didn't sense any anger there have some

Senior researcher at a large not-for-profit organisation.
15yrs experience, incl specialist post grad (helpful but not necessary)
London
£45k
Interesting work though tempted to go back into corporate world as I could easily be earning £60k+

Head of a Fundraising function
Breast Cancer Charity
15 + years in fundraising but started off in another sector
I have a BA & MA related to the sector I started off in.
£41k pro rata 4 days a week

I enjoy it and it works for me at the moment as I have small children and my employer is flexible which is key at this stage of my life. I'd love to be doing something a bit more meaty but don't have the family support network to make it work so that will come in a few years time.

Job - Solicitor in-house
Salary - £60k p.a. for 3 days per week (FTE £100k)
Location - Central London
Years of Experience - 16

I did years of horrendous hours as a City solicitor to get myself to this point and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone! It's much harder to get a position and salary like mine if you haven't put in the hard yards first so for that reason I wouldn't recommend it though currently really enjoy this job.

In-house financial services solicitor
10 yrs post qualification experience
Mayfair
low-mid 6 figures (inc bonus depending on the year).

Many many many hours.....much stress

maybe seriously you do not need a degree to be a PA. I was a PA in architects for 6 years and I don't have a degree!

I am currently retraining in payroll and thinking of HR to be office manager in architects firm - I think 40K starting maybe more.

I am in London.

Oh and first degree BSc plus law conversion diploma and legal training.

Childminder, degree in early years with 15 years experience in nurseries. Graded outstanding. Charge £3 per hour. Lucky to clear £6k after expenses. East Midlands area

What is low to mid 6 figures?!!! £100k-£500k: bit of a broad range!

Blackf0restgateau snap. 7 yrs hard slog in city/US law firms first.

superfly I agree you don't need one, but my particular job required it (I don't mean you need one to do the job, I meant they were only interviewing applicants who had one).

Quite a few PA roles at the moment prefer applicants to have degrees, I agree it's a bit stupid but there it is.

it depends on the performance of the company during the year!

I'm a vet, earn equivalent of about £50 k per annum full time - but work part time so have a lot of flexibility about hours but actually earn a bit over £15 K. 26 years experience but don't own my own practice!

Lots of lawyers here!

Enough for a special MN epidose of 'Suits'

Boosiehs So:

£X basic plus £Y personal performance plus £z company performance? £100k-500k is a huge variable! Does the company performance vary that much?

Engineer, 19 years experience, earn £45k but I work part- time so it's pro-rata down for 29 hours work. Then again I'm female, my male counterparts earn considerably more :(
I have a degree, but as engineering is getting desperate for employees, it isn't always necessary.

Work in a customer services role for a pharmaceutical company.

£20k per annum based in Kent

Fell into this job after previous office work. No qualifications required but knowledge of computer packages useful.
Seriously stuck in a rut and need to move on (preferably into something more taxing on the brain) but not qualified to do anything (have a Law degree but it is old and I didn't go into this field after leaving uni) and other office work doesn't pay this well in my location.

Law is certainly popular. Do people in the corporate fields have any regret about entering those fields ?

Staff Nurse.

3 yr degree.

Qualified 7 years ago.

Was a band 6, 26k, 3yr after qualifying, working in Sexual Health.

Now just do ad hoc NHS agency work at the local hospital to fit around family, approx £20 per hour.

If I had time over again I don't think I'd be a nurse. I wish I'd stuck to my original goals of something to do with the Law or Journalism. But, it's very flexible - I'm registered with an NHS agency and although the pay is the worst as far as agency work goes, the flexibility is fantastic, I literally work when I want and there are always shifts for those who want them.

Senior sister PICU plus regional transport nurse (required band 6 post and 5 years ICU experience for this)
4 years training plus 12 months additional specialist ICU training 25 years experience
34k

love my job its interesting and variable, but for the level of responsibility,hours and stress its undervalued
