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?

Retail buyer.
37k pre tax
Love my job

To the poster who was so ranty really regardless of your rant ..what have you gained by this whole thread
I find it irrelevant and would ask again why was this question asked

Its not so much about secrets but to the the relevance
What makes a person ask such a personal.question
There must be a reason ..still think its so nosy and irrelevant

I'm a civil servant and earn about £64k. I work really long hours though and it is a high stress role.

56k plus pension /benefits /shares/ potential bonus - managing a small team in Financial Services in the City. I got the promotion a few months ago and though I got a pay rise it wasn't as much as it should have been (my manager's words) so hoping to get to at least 60k at pay review in February.

I do enjoy my job most of the time but not the long hours. I'm hoping to be able to delegate more work in a few months as new team members get more experienced.

£26K plus comission (£2K)
Luxury retail. 10+ years with the same company

Was senior lawyer on £140k, stressful, constant and left no room for anything else.

Now £0k, at home full time, four children. Stressful, constant, and leaves no room for anything else.

Scary 😳

@jeremy when I've asked people a similar question people tend to fall into 3 camps....stay in their current job but work part time, give up work completely or quit their current job and persue a dream ( often involves being self employed)

@Tugglyb I'm TL. We only went up to 61 in October as the second part of our pay deal

@nickmylipple, how did you get in to that job? It sounds very appealing!

Me £0 (SAHM)
DH £300-350k+ depending on bonus

I earn 2/3 more than the average for my area.
I work a 37 hour week on average ( some weeks less, some more but it will add up to 148 hrs over a 4 week period.
6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays.

Approx £140 including bonus and car allowance. Pharmaceutical company. Full time, hard work, and am a single parent so it's sometimes close to impossible. But I love it.

IFA earn around 120K but plough majority back into our Company, cos we are growing a team of advisers with a view to selling our Practice.

It's an absolutely bloody fantastic job especially for women. And all about people, not figures, as most people think. It's a privilege to be involved with clients at key points in their lives - having a family, retiring, bereavement, etc etc. We get to know our clients really well and the range of skills you need is wide. Never a dull moment.

I work long hours and it has taken a long time to build my earnings to this level but then I am a bit of a workaholic and also a perfectionist.

Orchestral Musician £38k from my salary and I earn an extra 5-10k on top doing extra freelancing.
Sometimes it's incredible and sometimes it's shit.

£50k for 30 hours per week as a financial statement auditor (senior manager). I love it. Always at different client offices, working with different teams for different bosses. Hours/deadlines can sometimes be high pressure, but I don’t need mind that too much and take advantage when not as busy.

Blaaa, if you research career development, then the scandal is not that women end up in high paid jobs they hate but not enough women prioritise salary and as a result don't aim high enough and end up doing low paid women's work while the men have all the fun and power doing the highly paid work.

I am glad to see so many highly paid women on this thread. I suspect there are those that earn even more who are keeping their heads down.

Self employed around £70,000 very demanding takes over every minute of the day

Part time, self employed goldsmith working from home. Sometimes stressful and sometimes boring working alone. But, fits with family and I’m my own boss. £10-£15K

DH £300-350k+ depending on bonus

That wasn’t the question.

£550,000 Im a Barrister

Damn autocorrect......

£5,500.00
I'm a Barista

£21k HR Advisor. I'm full time. I LOVE my job, love the company, walking distance from my house, I get good benefits and some flexibility around start/finish times, children etc. I'm probably underpaid, but I wouldn't move roles just for the money. I was headhunted for another role that was more money but turned it down because so knew I wouldnt get the job satisfaction that I do currently.

£550,000

Really? Did they not teach you about apostrophes and appropriate use of capital letters in barrister school?

Wasn’t go to join in but gotta say about the tube drivers.
Is someone taking the piss here?
54k for driving a tube train!?
Am I missing something?

Looks like you missed the punchline, Kumquat

I'm training to be an architect, this is my last year of university (finally). I get about 5k in student loans and then make about 3k from a small amount freelance work. When I graduate from my post-grad I'll have 6 years of (required) training behind me and expect to be on around £25,000 until I qualify fully and it goes up a bit more.

The enjoyment part changes, I love doing freelance stuff, working in practice depends massively on the culture. It drove me crazy over the summer working somewhere that was unorganised and the days can be long, but my placement year in a small practice was a dream. The university stuff is stimulating but it goes on for so long and can be so far removed from the real world, they also expect a lot - It's 24:44 and I'm still working on some drawings
