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?

£35 per hour

Dilly is that answering 999 calls? I fancied a go at this but I’m not sure if it looks better on the tv than in real life

Sahm I get paid in cuddles, kisses and thank you's

Another town planner here! 60k - private sector. 18 years experience. Love it and has incredible flexibility and child friendly policies.

@seeyounexttue - sorry to hijack but I noticed you are a personal trainer and wondered if you would recommend this as a career now? I'm currently a PA in local government working three days a week, pre-tax salary about £18k. I don't enjoy it and I don't see myself doing it forever, I've been thinking about retraining to do something else and as I love exercise / keeping fit / the gym etc, I thought maybe retrain as a PT. Would u recommend it as a worthwhile thing to do? I know I'm not going to make a fortune from it but possibly would get more job satisfaction? Thanks!

I’ve just been offered a job (I’ve of course accepted it) I’ll be on around £8/9k per year as a care assistant in a residential home. 24hrs per week so not the greatest but I’ll love my job.

Senior nurse. £36.6k

Around 32k. Sonographer working in the NHS

Could earn more privately but despite it being stressful I do enjoy working for the NHS.

Not very much sadly. I work as a lecturer in a College and its £24 ph but I don't do many hours because I am ill now. But love the job totally

£5,940 after tax and I work full time but we have a tied cottage too. Combined income is just over the tax credit limit so we live hand to mouth and have a few little self employed businesses to try to make ends meet but they are seasonal so never very much. Please don’t tell me it is below the min wage, I know that and my self worth is low enough already. I work in hubby’s family tourism business so no scope to improve esp as we are 2.5hrs from the nearest city!
Any home based IT jobs going please pm me..I’ll try anything and work hard. (IT trained, web design self taught).

Nanny - 3 days per week - £21K per year, l love it, but can feel very tired at the end of working week, and then l have my own children and the household to take care of so exhausted by the end of the week...

whitecats - I was a journalist; I tend to have a mixture of people coming to me as they see my name on covers, or through my website, or publishers asking for certain stories. Sometimes recovery jobs for publishers too if another ghost hasn't worked out

£10 an hour as a Temp. I work in Quality Control/Management for an aerospace company and I hate it...... since I started 2 people in other departments have left and they have basically given me their work to do on top of mine! The training is terrible non existent and the working culture is appalling very very old fashioned and disability unfriendly

I've got a 2nd interview next week for a similar role in a (seemingly) much nicer company so fingers crossed I can say goodbye and move onwards

per anum

You mean per annum OP

per anum means something rude.

£0 as I'm a SAHM. Husband usually earns about 53,000. Works all over the country, usually between 65 and 84 hours a week, 6-7 days most weeks. It's a very stressful job and he has a 3 hour commute on top of those hours. It's all or nothing because there are often periods where he's out of work for a few weeks (or sometimes even months) when one job has finished and he's waiting for another one to start.

£50K + bonus for 3 days a week. Lawyer. Some days it’s good, some days it’s bad. V flexible with school stuff though so I’ll never leave willingly!

Just looking at the Senior Nurse and Sonographer.

You should be paid an awful lot more for what you do for people's health and well being. Sorry I don't mean to put you down or anything, but honestly, there are people out there earning twice as much as you and do damn all to help anyone. The world has gone mad.

But we love you just the same. But love never buttered any parsnips either.

For the record my early retirement pension is higher than nurse and sonographer. I am very thankful for this, but paid into a pension scheme from the minute I started working. Thanks Dad for that advice!

The downside is I am older lol!

I work less than 10 hours a week. Love my job. I'm on around 60k a year. It's not for everyone because apparently those in my profession are forced into, don't enjoy it, don't have free will, etc. Yes, I'm a hooker.

NHS top of a Band 6 in NI. There’s regional disparity so Band 6’s elsewhere would earn more.

About £70k pa for a 3 day week (I actually don't know for sure as working is more important to me than the salary and I recognise I am fortunate in this regard, though I worked really hard to get to this.)

I'm an in-house lawyer, moved from City M&A to a specialism that's interesting, dynamic and has few experts (can't say more in case it's outing).

I really enjoy it and I'm convinced I'll never get anything like this again in my life; I'm really really fortunate.

Work in Sales, made 27k last year. Work Monday-Thursday.
Enjoy the work life balance but despise the job.

Marketing and PR manager 37k.

Secondary school teacher with pastoral responsibility. £64k. I love my job!

I earn between 5-6k as a part time teaching assistant. I work 16.5 hours a week. I'm very happy with that, perfect work/ life balance for me. Dh is the main earner.

Approx. £25k. I’m a materials analyst specialising in metallurgy, working in engineering. I love the work, but it’s incredibly stressful and there’s little room for progression. Plus the pay is terrible considering my job role (I do the majority of management for the testing laboratories too), knowledge and ability. That’s science for you though, the pay is just terrible.
