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?

40k - children and family Social worker. I enjoy my job but it's emotionally draining.

Didn't know social workers earned so much

8 quid an hour on a zero hour contract

None of your business OP. What do you earn? Are you conducting a survey?

Grumpy no it isn't my business, and if people choose not to share what they make then they obviously don't have to.

Grumpy and, if you read the thread you would see that I posted what I earn and my reasoning for the questions.

It’s a weird way to start a thread, asking nosy questions without volunteering your own information.

37k Criminal Investigator.
Public Sector. 34hrs a week.
Good pension.
V flexible . worked TT only when kids small (much less money obvs) .
Absolutely love it. Interesting. Exciting and challenging.

OP, do you have an existing degree? Even if it’s one not relevant to any certain discipline, it seems there are a lot of “conversion” courses available.

Knowing what I know now, if I wanted to make a better salary as fast as possible, id probably go into something along the lines of accounting. Tax advisors, actuary, auditors etc.

Or teaching, actually. A friends husband just spent a year retraining and then BOOM, there’s your new career.

Legal professionals - would you say it’s too competitive to get into info you’ve young children limiting your hours and are unqualified?

Grumpy ok? People have answered my questions and if they didn't want to then they wouldn't have. I don't see your issue.

@parchworkpatty I didn’t know such a job title existed! DD11 wants to be a criminal barrister at the moment, but that sounds cool!

No, I’m not seriously planning an 11yr olds career path, but we love playing “if you could be...” games in the car :)

I work in private healthcare from home 3 days a week. My part time salary is £25k and I get a company car. I love it.

Forgot to say I do 21 hours over 3 days for my £25k.

What are you like OP? Are you good at sales, or are you a problem solver, or are you a bit more of a geek (I’m this category), do you like kids, or are you particularly patient? Enjoy the security of civil service or up for a bit more risk in private sector?

Midwifery is my dream but I just don't see it to be realistic anymore now that I have a young.

£64 a week, which is taxable. Yay to carers!

£64 per week isn't taxable if its your only income

I'm a nursery nurse. I work part time, term time only. If I worked full time i'd be on 17.k per year. I love it most of the time but wish we were paid more! I earn a little more than minimum wage which is pretty rare for nursery nurses.

Private healthcare practitioner - £30K a year for 3 days a week

I think you’ll find carers allowance IS a ‘taxable benefit’ thank you.

£69k + benefits. Manager in a large, global company. WFH most of the time. Can be long hours but good flexibility around my DS morning school schedule.

Absolutely love my job but it's a struggle on 20k. NHS administrator.

@hoodiemum how might one become an educational writer?? Need to leave teaching....

34.5K

Full time teacher with additional responsibility.

I generally love the job although it is very busy and at points very stressful!

ABout £15k as a TA, love the job, pay is shit. I used to earn a lot more as a software engineer many moons ago but I hated the job. Would be nice to be well paid and enjoy the job!
