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?

Currently £64 per week carers allowance soon to be that plus 100 per week self employed.

Start work in January and have to be self employed to work my own hours around caring duties.

18 hours p.w
£11200 p.a
Finance Officer
I dread going in and the job is fire fighting.

£45k pa working 8-2.00pm. Doing comms in the city.

32k per year.
Proofreader.
Yes.

£18k 4 days a week senior archaeologist with MA and PhD. Although I am constantly playing catch up in evenings and weekends so technically full time but not paid for it.

Its not a career to get into if you love money but at least its interesting.

12.5k working 31 hours a week in a shop on minimum wage, I like it
Thought I’d even put the playing field with all these high earners on here! (To me a high earner is 20k plus)

£60/70,000 ish. I write educational materials. Used to like it when kids were at primary as very flexible, freelancing from home - although hard work going back to my desk after getting them off to bed. These days I'm struggling because it's way too lonely now I don't do the school run every day. Tips for beating the freelancer blues most welcome!

As of today, £11,400 (17 hours pw). Financial inclusion officer. Don't know if I enjoy it yet, as I work Weds-Fri so don't actually start for a couple of days, but I'm hoping it will be less heartbreaking than working with vulnerable, homeless people, or people at risk of becoming homeless.

Jumped ship after 11.5 years, because the job was getting tougher and tougher and it was getting hard to maintain professional boundaries in the face of so much misery.

My new boss is lovely and the team seem nice, so I'm hopeful.

Homelessness Prevention officer
£22k
I get some satisfaction from being a dogooder

You do a great job

Around the 10K mark, I get mileage added in but that varies month by month, I'm a dementia care assistant, yes I love the job, I get to help people and as I work around my children it's nicely flexible. Not really a proper career though I guess

About £16,000 for 40hrs per week - but then get bonus which can be over £12,000

Nearly 9k in NHS.

Love my colleagues, but some of the people I deal with make me wanna slam my head very hard against the desk.

If it werent for my colleagues, I'd have walked long ago.

Would be just over £22k if full time but am part-time so about £17k. University admin.

Finance Assistant in a university on £27k

46K legal secretary

Band 6 NHS post. Look it up, it's in the public domain.

cantthinkofausernamee do you mind me asking do you live in London?

Waitressing, around 30-35 per week, £28-29K

Really intrusive question but as a trainee surgeon (qualified but on a CCT type program nearing the end) I don’t know my salary due to locums/extra sessions and so it’s basically not fixed
I think my last tax summary stated 71k

@cantthinkofausernamee do you mind me asking do you live in London?

£24k for 24 hours within school hours over 4 days, finance, very flexible, a bit boring but allows me to focus on my family and also work with great people.

27.5k as a police call handler. Taking a 4K paycut next year to start as an officer. Ludicrous that I sit safely behind a screen and earn more than next year when I’ll be risking my life and getting assaulted on a day by day basis. Reading this thread, even more ludicrous how little people get paid to save lives...even the top end as a constable is significantly less than most of these albeit skilled but not exactly life or death scenario jobs. Makes me despair at the world a little! But eh it’s a calling rather than a job choice

Science technician in a school. £8k for 12 hours a week term time only. Love it, practical, autonomous, basically get left to it and no work to take home.

Used to have a more prestigious job on £50k with responsibility so this is a bit of a change but fits well with our little children for now.

Specialist nurse, £38k per annum, but working part time, one day a week since having DD. Do quite a few weekends, take home about £750-800 a month.
