AIBU to ask what your job title is and what your expected salary is?

[user0512]

Hi all,

I'm just a bit curious as to what our fellow Mumsnetter's job titles are and if you don't mind sharing, your approx wage. I see others on here earning near £7,000 PM. How? It always leaves me feeling a bit anxious about my own job and wage.

I have a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies, but I doubt I'll ever earn near enough £7,000 a month.

Pharmacy technician, approx 23k if I worked full time. I choose to work part time, 26h a week. There are days where I am not paid enough for the abuse I get and other days where I have immense job satisfaction.

Dietitian - around £50K/yr (after many years and that's about my cap). Not much money in health.

I'm a senior business analyst (senior manager) in financial services. BAs can earn from £35-60k and seniors up to around £90k, plus bonuses.

This is not in London but home county

Doctor 12 years in full time 60k PA

Multiple professional exams (self funded) and qualifications, also have to self fund GMC fees, courses, conferences, insurance and indemnity. And bring own office supplies to work . Work weekends public holidays and nights with no fixed schedule so childcare a nightmare and ££££ to sort

Message - don't be a doctor !

Title Checker at a licensed conveyancers. I’m a solicitor and I do the fiddly technical legal stuff.

My ft salary is £40,000. I work pt. I’d have to take on managerial responsibilities to earn more but I can’t be arsed.

Jesus that’s crap @Eucalyptusbee My employers pay for my CPD and practicing certificate and have company indemnity because we couldn’t do our jobs without them. Yet somehow it’s justified for doctors?

Civil servant EO role, 26.5k a year, based in midlands (I always say this cos it’s easy to forget most people on this forum live in London hence the hefty salaries!)

Director in consulting firm, £100k plus bonus of 30-50% (I work part time, 3 days)
DH is MD in a different consulting firm on £180k plus bonus and stock

london-based with some WFH

Picking up on a previous posters point, we both generate revenue which is why our salaries are high. I didn’t go to uni, worked my way up from entry level job at 18, most people are grads though.

I’m self employed, work around 20 hours a week, earnings vary between £2000 - £3000 per month, but I have to pay professional fees, insurances etc out of that so need to get motivated! I receive payouts every now and again for my book which helps. Job is very varied but I assist businesses in contract and development advice.

I also agree that being a developer is a great route to a high salary, I’ve just hired a team of them and it was crazy! They can basically name their price, contracting terms and even when we offered everything they wanted we lost a couple to a better offer.

Professional in a creative/consultancy role. Usually commands a salary of around 40k. I have a degree and a masters.

Abusive ex husband hampered my career progression for years. Now self employed and part time due to disabled child. PTSD from abusive relationship. Take home was £500 last month.

I can’t afford to have the heating on and am serving us out of date free food from a community organisation. Life is hard.

Commercial BD Manager, prof services. Currently on 70. Easy potential for 100k+

My role is rather niche

32k and in management accounts (not qualified). Way way outside of London! I'm very happy with my salary.

Don’t want to put actual job title in case outing but social work, lowest rung of the management structure 45 K

Some of the salaries being quoted on here seem crazy high! I work in a small family company in Scotland. Most of the staff are on £20-£25k and that's classed as a reasonable salary. To be fair the max working week is 36hrs and you're expected to not work more than that so you have a work/life balance. But to increase wages will mean increased prices for customers and most customers would complain bitterly at that. The real living wage is currently £9.90/hr which on 40hr week is £20.5k - so rather than comparing yourself against London or public sector salaries, check that your employer is a real living wage employer.

I interviewed and was a marcoms director at that time. I had done a CELTA course years ago too, which was a level up from A levels

@MinnieMountain yeah its really shit. I spend at least 1 month salary per year on compulsory elements of the job. I Will never let my kids do medicine.

Development Manager for a music charity and I get 26k a year. Essentially I am the fundraiser and bring in most of the income for them. This is in the Midlands.

Max in the industry is probably 40-45k but that is for a fundraising manager who leads a big team and has to bring in millions.

I'm a specialist in science and engineering: £40,000. Not in London.

Project manager in a non-profit - £50k. No bonus but I absolutely love my job.

Estates Surveyor (MRICS) £55k, but it would likely be higher if I was older.

That’s fantastic.
I had no idea that business schools offered that as a route to an MBA. It’s great for those who didn’t go to Uni because quite frankly, in many areas, having real on the job experience is worth so much more than a degree once you’ve clocked up the experience and irrespective of a first degree will make outstanding MBA candidates.

Wow all amazing salaries (even those who say "only"!)

I'm currently looking at local authority jobs working with people - so Sen roles, community development etc. All 20-30 and lots 20-22 requiring experience!

Senior accountant, chartered, 60k but a fully wfh position so could probably have got more if I'd been willing to work somewhere I'd have to commute to. I'm also only three years qualified so I'd expect that to go up a fair bit in my 30s and 40s.
