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?

Midwife £36K (full time). I do love my job but it's becoming increasingly stressful, not enough people to do the job. Now the Tories have scrapped the bursery to train I imagine it's very difficult to get through the training working full time, paying large tuition fees and supporting yourself/family financially as well. The training is also quite demanding, not meaning to put you off, but being realistic. It's full time and shift work. Feel free to message me if I can help at all

Around £4500 per year working 9 hours a week as a youth worker.

It's nice being paid better than minimum wage working with young people for a change. Also brings in some holiday money and I am making a difference.

22k for working just under 2.5 days a week as a teacher. I love it.

I have 2 disabled children so could not go back full time and luckily my school have been really supportive.

Dream job for me! But the loss of the bursary is the only thing holding me back.

In hindsight, we should have all put pro rata salaries.

£40k. In IT

It’s not a lot for IT, and I know I would get paid a lot more if I commuted to a bigger city or went contracting.

But for me the pay offs are:

• minimum commute (15 mins door to door, and only £40 on bus pass each month instead of £500 per month to nearest big city)
• 4 day working week (compressed hours, meaning that I have a better work life balance, spending an extra day with DS every week and save £200 a month on childcare)
• No overtime: work my core hours and that’s it
• lovely colleagues

I’m not particularly ambitious, but I think I do earn a decent amount.

Didn’t get to have a career as I was raising 4 dc. I’m happy with my choice in life. But now have gone back to college to start from scratch. So not earring anything atm.
But would love a nice little p/t job and get paid to be a little financially independent.

Good thread and my goodness there are some high earners on here

Midwife apprenticeships will be starting as a pilot next year so may be worth considering if they become more widespread.

£15k working as a part time lawyer.

• 1.5 days a week. Its ok. Have times when I hate it but generally it is ok.

Just under £50k, senior manager in HE.
Good holidays and pension
Really enjoy it, bit stressful and very busy but also rewarding.
I’ve been in the sector for 17 years but at this pay grade for a while. I don’t want to move up though-the stress at director level not worth the meagre increase in pay.

26k, accounts admin in a small business. Soon to be moving roles and going part time - without a pay cut which is nice!

Marketing Exec but more like a marketing manager tbh! Earn £38k.

Forgot to say until last year I was earning nearly 75k as a head of department at a dotcom company but took voluntary redundancy as fed up of commuting two hours a day and never seeing my child or my DH.

Just under £40k pa for a 4 day week.. Copy editor, work from home, it's okay.. I earn a lot more than I should for the job, I'm able to do school runs, my boss is very chill, and that keeps me going..

£120k as control officer in financial services industry in the City .. lucky I know, but left school at 16 and worked my arse off to get to this level

These threads pop up from time to time and I am not sure why. I got salary envy terribly when I was younger and worked stupid hours, sometimes three jobs to earn more.

Currently on about £80k before commission, IT sales. I like the job, benefits and opportunities it allows me

£77k TV Producer. That's what I would get if I worked full time but I'm freelance so usually have a couple of months off and end up earning around £50k.

£120k - senior engineer in oil and gas

£43k head of marketing in education. Enjoy it most of the time. Really nice following students and seeing their achievements. Particularly those who didn’t do well in school but excel in vocational courses

£28k full time Housing Officer. I enjoy parts of the job (such as being able to help house homeless people) but I find it very stressful on the whole

£30k, full time in the civil service. My role is an investigation/compliance type role. The job sounds more interesting on paper than it is to actually do daily! But I work term time which is good for childcare and also fully flexi so I get to do the school run or be home by 3pm every day which is another bonus whilst their young. Plenty of other in the office love the job and plan on progressing up to £50k though, it just doesn't suit my interests. I'll stay if my plan to leave in a few years doesn't work out.

P.A. 27k, enjoy my job. It's underpaid but I have a flexible boss.

HR at prestigious University. 35k but fantastic benefits (pension, flexible hours, massive leave allowance). I'd like a change of job or to start my/our own business but the benefits are so good, it can be a bit of a trap.

About €29k working 4 days a week, accounting. I like what I do but def feel in a bit of a rut after 2 decades (unqualified so still kind of bottom rung). When the kids are a bit older I want to move up to the next level.

60/70k part time self employed. Specialist medical field
