AIBU to ask what job you do to earn 20-30k pa.

[Manth0914]

As the title suggests really. I was wondering today what other people do and for how many hours a week to earn £20,000-£30,000 per year? I like having a glimpse into other people's worlds 🙂

Retail Manager, £24k, usually 8 til 6, but more if we’re short staffed. Been with them a long time and am content with my lot, terms and conditions are reasonable and we’ve survived COVID so I’ll take that! Recently took a pay cut to work 9 days in 14 instead of 10 which has vastly improved my general well-being.

Nurse

Someone working 37.5 hours a week at NMW (which is currently £8.91 if you're over 23) will be earning just under 16k a year after tax.

I'm not for a second claiming it's a lot of money, but surely we quote gross, not net salaries normally?

Newly qualified midwife

When I was on that amount call centre in banking. 24k + bonus’s

Oh and 35 hrs was full time

I'm a Smoking Cessation Counsellor, my FT salary is 33k but I earn less working part time.

I'm a secretary for a trade union and earn just over £30k. I work 32.5hrs per week.

Teachers working 70+ hours a week. Even at the normal top of the scale (earning say 38k) multiply 70 hours a week by ten months a year (assuming they do literally nothing for two months summer/Easter/Christmas -very unlikely) and it works out about £12 an hour. Pretty bad pay really.

C. £24k, four on four off, full time, fork lift truck driver / warehouse op.

Postie, 37hrs

Data manager

Medical secretary - just under 26k

Sorry should add full time

At 37.5 hours

my sister is on 25 as an HR assistant full time 36 hrs.

Copywriter, working about 20 hours a week. It's paid per piece so I could up my income if I did more hours, but I'm happy with the balance at the moment

Registered veterinary nurse, working 40hrs per week. Qualified for 17yrs and I earn half way between that bracket. Its sadly not unheard of, for fellow RVNs to be earning less than £20k full time

I earned £27,000 as a PT finance manager (3 days per week)

Lots of public sector roles will earn in that range including most admin staff. Also lots of NHS staff including admin and clinical staff. I think the UK average salary falls in that range so it would cover a lot of people.

I am a Test Analyst and DH is a civil servant

Nursing critical care sister- 25/26k part time hours. That’s majority nights and weekends tho, otherwise it’d be significantly less.

Manager of a third sector department. Would like to be on more one day!

Customer Service - I'm hiring at between £21-£25k for really good people

Dog walker and trainer. About 25 hours per week.
