To ask how much you were earning at 25yrs old and also at 35yrs old?

[MrsSimonBasset]

Call me nosey but at 25 I’d not quite got into the sector I’m in now and at 35, I’d already started on my career path. Went to university, had my kids afterwards, but was done by the time I was 30yrs old. I’ll start £19,000 and £30,000. I will admit that it has accelerated since. But more interested in those crucial child rearing years between 25-35.

At 25 I was on 38k at the end of a graduate training program.

At 35, £90k. But in terms of the crucial child bearing years my salary hasnt increased (except an inflation uplift) in the last 4 years while I have been in and out having kids. It's fallen behind market a bit and I will talk to my boss about that at the next review. My boss is quite reasonable though and my employer has historically given more when I've demonstrated that my pay is behind market.

25 about 15k maybe a bit less
35 about 32k maybe

Similar to you OP, at 25 was in low level dead end admin job earning approx 15K, went back to uni at 28 to retrain, at 35 earning 35K

25 - £36k
30 - £55k

I’m on maternity leave now (31) and I’m going back part time so I will be on about £33k. At 35 I might have given up work as we are considering moving abroad and it would be tricky for me to work there.

£30k for both, but at 25 I was working full time (more like 60 hours a week actually!), whereas at 35 I was only working 3 days a week.

25: 14k?
35: 14k (part-time)
45: 1 k
55: hoping for 42k or so

adjusted for inflation maybe age 25 was worth 28k in today's money?

Age 25 29k

Age 35 25k part time (3days a week)

25 - £25k
35 - £60k

I'm 51.

25 - £35k
35 - £75k

I work in construction, the salaries increase fairly rapidly with 10yrs experience and professional qualifications.

25 - 26k
30 (currently) 42k
Now on mat leave

At 25 I think I was on about 24K
At 35 about 38K

25 £6-7k PhD bursary (so no tax or NI and better off than most PhD students because my research council paid more than average)
35 ~£33k with no DC
50 ~£50k, 3DC, work PT

25 - £32,000
32 - £85,000

25 - £12,000 assistant manager in a travel agency.

35 my age now - £32000 ward sister

25 - 18k
35 - 61k
Had a baby in those years, applied for promotion during mat leave and got it, which bumped my salary up £15k. Pretty surprised (in a good way!) as have previously been discriminated against just for being in child bearing "danger zone". Obviously different employer!

25-£25k
35-£40k
45-£60k

Cant quite do the same maths because I'm still only 30 but...
22: £18k
30: £45k

25- about £30/32k
35- £96k

I spent those “crucial child-reading years” working

Goodness. I have no idea how much I was earning 37 years ago. At 35 (27 years ago) I think I was on about £20k with a company car, but I really don't remember. I'm in a part of Yorkshire where average wages for what I do are about £26k.

Why are there so many how much do you earn threads on MN?

25 about 22k
33 about 50-85k self employed so variable
35 £0k SAHM

At 25 - £21k had just qualified in my profession

At 35 - £77k. I remember the very specific figure as I changed jobs this year and I remember talking them up from £75k.

I am 50 now.

25- about £30/32k 35- £96k

I spent those “crucial child-reading years” working

Seems like I and many others did too while raising kids

Nurse - At 25 23k ish
At 35 31k but I’d had to do an extra degree to go up bands for the promotion.

25 - £60k including bonuses

35 - £35k

Impact of motherhood and the economy tanking in the meantime. It's taken me 10 years to get back up to my 25 years old earnings

25 yes ago, management

25 - £25k
35 - £40k - despite having 2 maternity leaves and 'crucial child rearing' to do
