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?

£45k plus bonus senior business analyst

I do enjoy my job plus I get to work flexibly around my children which is a major bonus

£23,500

Office administrator in a veterinary practice.

I absolutely love my job! My hours are really good, I have a lot of freedom, very small team who I get on very well with and it is definitely not like working in a normal office. Every day is different!

22K.... but will go up to 27k in time. Work in Local Authority in Social Care type service.

£15000 for 2days a week. Teacher. Really don’t like it and looking for a way out. It’s good money for 2 days official time but the fact I work every day I’m off for at least 2/3 hours just isn’t worth it

45k, compliance at a bank.

Lawyer (GC) and earn £98,500. I also get a £10,000 car allowance and usually a 30% bonus (but not guaranteed). I really do love my job but I do have to put in long hours and regularly work weekends/bank holidays and have had to work whilst on vacation.

In response to one posted re entry into the legal profession I think it depends, I work in-house so I’ve got a slightly easier time of it and employ lots of lawyers with children that need a good work/life balance. I’m a new mum so can’t realky comment on juggling a career with a baby but I know I’ll have to get a live in nanny. You can definitely get a good work/life Balance as a lawyer but I’d recommend staying away from private practice.

GP partner work full 3 days a week in my practice (and that's about 10/12 hours a day). I work 1 day a week in a management type job for my health board. One afternoon a month in a committee role. And one evening a week out of hours. Almost every night from home admin/CPD etc. The flexible portfolio type work gives me flexibility as a single parent. About £100k all jobs together.

£7,500 approx, only working 12 hours a week cleaning in the morning before my partner starts his shift. Planning on doing this for the next year and abit until DS is in nursery then studying to become a qualified nurse.

I like my job because its so simple, no stress, no responsibility like my previous job in sales (13k- 52k depending on performance it was so up and down you couldn’t plan, £250 one week up to £1,000 other weeks). It gets me up and going early for the day and means we dont have any childcare bill.

Quantity Surveyor £54,000

Looking at some of these it makes me feel a bit embarrassed that people with much more important jobs than mine, earn a lot less.

@Slavingerwings can I be nosey and ask what type of writing you do? Do you have a niche?

24k as a tutor. Love it. Make my own schedule, pick my own clients, can teach online from home. I have busy times throughout the year but I take most of the summer off, as well as other school breaks.

purple - of course you can! The reason I posted really was because a lot of people think you can't earn a living from writing, but you can. I'm a ghostwriter.

This embarassment around discussing wages is one reason for the gender pay gap and a way companies get away with paying shit wages. It’s a good thing to learn what other jobs pay in different sectors and what you can realistically achieve. I can’t stand this odd awkwardness around discussing salaries in this country.

I don’t work so £0 but the median gross full time wage is almost £30k.

Around 28k
Self employed in 2 jobs:tutor and copywriter.
Also a full time masters student.
I just don't sleep

About 100k. Finance. I do enjoy it. Ut was thinking about moving roles. Work full time and have a medium sized team to manage.
Our gender pay gap at work is due to fewer woman in senior positions. Lower than me the pay gap is negligible.

I'm actually surprised how low the wages are but then again I guess it's mainly women answering.

Ask men of the same demographic, the numbers will be depressingly higher.

Work 3 days per week earn £30,000 per year. Hate my job though, it's not so much my job but the people that work there. Best thing is I don't work Mondays or Fridays.

PolarBear.. there’s a very wide range on this thread. You shouldn’t find it impossible to believe that women, and women on MN, can earn top salaries.

I’m a director in Financial Services technology. I earn £120k basic plus pension / insurance / other benefits plus up to 45% bonus depending mainly on division & company revenue rather than performance. I travel globally and work from home 1 or 2 days a week.

I’m in the South East. Technology & Financial Services are extremely well paid if you have the right skill set.

Done this for 25 years and continue to Love my job.

@bbcessex do you mind if I ask what skill sets those are? (Broadly!) Sounds very a interesting and well paid career!

Self employed truck driver earning circa £35k (which will go up to £40-£45k when I get my arctic license). Many earn peanuts in this job but there's high demand atm so one can be choosy about who they work for.

Was a sales manager previously on similar salary but with lots more corporate bullshit and stress.

£16.5k. Work in admin/publishing in central London full time. Shockingly low wage and desperately trying to get out!

I'm actually surprised how low the wages are but then again I guess it's mainly women answering.

Ask men of the same demographic, the numbers will be depressingly higher.

I thought women earned more up until 35-40 yo? (has certainly been my own anecdotal experience).

£89k plus share grants.

I lead resourcing for the warehousing/logistics arm of a retailer.

Do I enjoy it? Difficult to say. I’m constantly stressed, work 60-70 hours a week, have no work life balance, and suffer majorly from imposter syndrome. On the flip side, I am NEVER bored, it’s often pretty exciting, and at the end of our peak season I am so proud of my team and their achievements.

I often think I love to retrain to be a counsellor/therapist, but would probably miss the buzz of what I do now.

between £350k and £450k . Owner of my own business. Started with nothing and it just became successful over the years.
