Based off the other salary thread

What salary would you expect an apprentice Lab analyst in a pharmaceutical company to be paid. 3 days in work and 2 days at college (degree apprenticeship)...

Just interested in seeing responses...

@apprenticewage

Thanks all. The range is interesting. Pay is approx 22k plus full fees at uni I also get 10% employer pension contributions 2.3% annual increase 8% bonus

Pay when I finish will rise to circa 35k

I am not in the U.K. but the numbers I have calculated as sterling equivalent.

That sounds fab for an apprenticeship and a guaranteed job at the end of it!

@girlmom21 it definitely is! I'm delighted 😀

@Asdf12345 thankfully I will get a permanent job at the end of it. Although I'm not obliged to stay with the company and there are plenty of other companies around that I could go to if I wanted.

It sounds promising and like a rather different model than apprenticeships in the uk.

@GreenNewDealNow really? 100 a week? 🤣

My son is a 20 year old painting and decorating apprentice. He started on £160 a week. Six months in he’s on £240 a week. One day in college four on site.

His company pay over the odds tbh and it’s obviously a different sort of apprenticeship to the one you are doing

@apprenticewage that's a very good package.
I was close enough 😂 I'm in Ireland and in Pharma and would have loved that when I was doing my undergrad. Congrats 👏

I think the cost of living is higher in Ireland, so presumably wages are too.

@Justkeeppedaling I lived in the U.K. prior to this and to be honest I find it much of a muchness. It's slightly more expensive in my opinion but not extortionately.
No council tax
No water rates
Food is pretty much them same

That's extremely decent considering they are putting you through a degree.
