To ask how much you earn

[ezeria]

How much do you earn per anum before tax? What is your current position/job/career? Do you enjoy it?

£36k basic admin role. Not London. Absolutely love my job, brilliant hours, flexibility, super team and never take work home. Reading this realising how lucky I am! 😵

£650 per day so I guess if I work 220 days = £143k

But no pension/sick pay/mat leave/paid holiday.

I'm a self-employed Programme Manager in financial services.

Sometimes I like my job, sometimes it's massively stressful and long hours and I hate it. I also commute (drive) 3 hours a day.

On balance I feel lucky though...I don't hate it so much I'm leaving and it means I can afford a nice lifestyle (nice house, holidays, experiences, etc).

£32k for 29 hours (0.8 FTE) as an investigator/senior caseworker in the public sector. Good holidays and flexi hours plus can work at home one day a week.

I enjoy it and the work is interesting.

£13.5k for three days a week in admin. Hate it with a passion, so I'm retraining to be a probation officer and starting a criminology and justice degree in the new year.

University admin, £24k. My job is unbelievably busy at certain points of the year but very quiet at others so it all balances out.

I am looking for a promotion though. Got an interview next week for a £35k post

£80k+ estate agent in London but now on 3 days a week so £40k inc car allowance. I like it now I only do it 3 days and have less pressure

Part time teacher. About 18k. I hate it as parents and students can be complete dicks.

Approx 19k p/a. Part time in the customer service section. (can't say what exactly as totally outing)
However I'm part time 20 hrs a week. And hoping to move into a different section this year which will be 24k for same hours. Also have amazing benefits, pension etc.

Would love to go back to full time. But I'm a carer for family and have a small child. And it'd be shift work, so not possible til DD is in secondary and can get herself to and from school.

48k. Charity management

I always take these comments with a pinch of salt.

Loads of comments saying people earn 6 figures. If you earn over 84k you are in top 4% of UK earners. And the top 4% are all on Mumsnet. Obvs.

35k part qualified Management Accountant. Could earn 4/5k more elsewhere, but I have amazing leave entitlement and benefits plus really good flexibility .... priceless with small children. Enjoy my job but it can be quite stressful and is often full on. Studying to become chartered, whereby I hope to earn £50k plus at Financial Controller level (over next 10 years ... so not overly ambitious!)

Nearly 40k as a PA/Carer. Not bad as have no qualifications in this area (was formerly a teacher) and earn more than a junior dr/solicitor, but I am on call 24/7, and work v v hard (a physically and mentally draining role 24/7).

Not exactly sure as a contractor but the equivalent to about £130,000 to £150,000.
Work on up to 5 contracts at a time. Work 6 days a week, 60-70 hours plus lots of travel. Done 15 hours so far today, stopped for a drink now but will do a couple of hours email before bed.
No not really. I used to but my main contract has shifted focus and it isn’t as interesting. Can’t really do less, it is an all or nothing job. Only upside is I can take holidays whenever I want.

@Polarbearflavour

I do think MN has a quite obvious skew to more intelligent people, and more intelligent people are more likely to be high earners than average

I think there's a skew towards the South East too which also brings a bias to higher earners.

I'm definitely not telling porkies on mine and realise it makes me top 1-2%

My DH earns £20k though so we're not both high earners (and I started out on £17.5k).

Writer - can be flexible about how much I work as self-employed. Probably about £50-60k a year, maybe work 20 hours a week (but very intensively when on deadlines), don't work during school holidays. Love it!

Iamnotlikethem I can’t even begin to imagine what your job is like but why are you trapped? You must have a fair bit of savings if you’ve been doing the job for a while and you probably own your own property so what’s actually stopping you from changing jobs?

How much do you earn 
Eh isn't that rather a personal question OP?

@beanaseireann OP has explained why she's asking.

If you don't like it, move along.

Plus it's less personal than many questions on here!

70-80K. University Academic. But unusually, more teaching and admin rather than research these days. Love my job most of the time and feel very lucky to be well rewarded for something so enjoyable and generally very flexible. There are times when I work very hard but most of the time it is pretty good.

Eh isn't that rather a personal question OP?

No women need to talk more about salary, if we are to address the gender pay gap we need transparency. Men don’t seem to have an issue with this, or asking for more when they are recruited or as part of annual reviews.

£45k analytical/salesy role aerospace.

Most people use me as an excel trainer also.

£46k in education. At the top of my pay scale now though unless I move in to leadership. I like my job - but i don't love it anymore!

£11.72 an hour, hours vary per week but mostly 16 to fit in with the little ones.

Social media and customer care, rural south west

£46ishK teacher, love it but the workload is ridiculous

£27.5k as an NQT working a billion hours a week 😭
