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?

I’d be interested to know where everyone is from also (or is this delving too much).

There seems to be a huge North/South divide speaking to certain people.

£80k plus £7k bonus. Marketing Director in a really cool startup. Love it!

£35000 for 60% of full time - doctor, basically 3x 9-5 days plus some on call.
Would be £58000 if i moved back to full time. Would never see the dc though.
DH earns £80000. Also a doctor.
We know we are very lucky.

Are we all honest here? who knows. So take it as you will.

43000- Teacher with additional responsibility.

32k as a quantity surveyor. Would love to have the balls to ask for a pay rise.
My confidence is in tatters since going back after maternity leave

YABU. It’s none of your beeswax.

Had to take ill health retirement at 36 so get a very small pension and disability. Amounts to about £13k p/a

Part time mental health nurse, been doing it for 20 years. I currently earn around £21,000 per year. I don't love or hate my job, but i can't see me doing anything else!

many women who have given up their career or taken a step back because their husbands earned more and therefore their job was considered more important.

Yes, and then what happens if they split up? Very dangerous.

DH has considerably more earning potential than me but we agreed pre kids that he either committed to being an equal parent (therefore doing some pick ups and drop offs, sick days etc) or we didn't have kids. I know my limitations and I am not cut out to be a sahp.

£65k plus Car, benefits, pension etc in corporate finance.
Love it, every day is different and gets the grey matter working.
Whilst only been with firm 2 months, they’re miles better than previous, Who headhunted me from secure job, only to make me redundant 5 months after. Chalk it down to experience as my new firm invited me to apply and I started 3 days after redundancy notice ended.

34k, geek-work in coding. I could earn more elsewhere but I love where I work, the people, great work life balance, flexi time, wfh when I like, some travel, great boss.
There's more to life than money, but easy for me to say as I am getting on a bit and DH even moreso (retired forces) so the days of struggling financially are behind us.

Just under 40k- I am a social worker

You can ask but I exercise my option to decline. Though it is less than the Prime Minister.

£55k, bored out of my mind.

@overagain exactly. Same here. My DH earns double what I earn but he's also 11 years older so has a headstart! We share parenting equally and that includes taking time off when kids are ill etc.

Occ Psyc on £50k plus bonus and car outside SE....but single income household so in no way rolling in it

3 /5ths of £37k (p/t 3 days). Local gov/Council Officer. Skilled role & have 23yrs in related industry- horticulture. Not known for good salaries, so this is pretty good. No bonus, no extras, 1% rise when lucky for the last 10years! Like the job, but have way too much so is stressful. Unfortunately about 1/4 of my take home goes on commuting as there is only min wage/min hours work where I live.

£10k for 15 hr week admin, I am semi retired so find it quite enjoyable but probably not quite the well paid career you might want OP

8k a year. Part time cafe assistant at a tourist attraction. Love the job and people but a lot are younger than me and only minimum wage

Over 100K, full time doctor, not in UK. Trying to fit in family life means very long nights catching up on notes and little sleep but I do love what I do.

I basically earn enough to live carefully, which of course. I do not. 1200 a month for 20 hours a week, afternoons freelance copywriting, live in the Netherlands so 950 a month rent. Scraping by the but prefer it to 9-5 any day of the week

£40k as a health visitor - love it. Very varied, rewarding and autonomous.

70K. FT perm.
Senior (director level) in HE. I live in SE England.

Anyone not happy of transparency, think this - in Finland, anyone can ask for your tax details
