To ask what you do for a living and how much you earn?

[Kallo3]

Just being nosey really, I feel like most of the women on mumsnet are really big earners. I need help managing my money a bit better I think.

36k for 3 long days per week
Therapist

Senior Manager IT in the private sector:
£77k + bonus (15-20%) + car allowance (5k) + stock options
Involves managing a team and budget. I could earn more if I moved company but at the moment I enjoy my work. What is often not apparent when you start work is all the extras that you accrue as you move up bands.

Administrator - £25k for 4 days a week

not Much - but I work for the NHS ! Barely scrape enough to live on but love job!

I don’t suppose you’re any good at SharePoint and would consider a new role is in the West Midlands would you ? @loves2plan

£62k. Teacher (Head of Department). South East.

£123k Salaried Partner - I’m an accountant but work for a law firm

Pastoral manager in a secondary school. Manage a year group of 310 kids. 17.5k but that’s pro rata for 41 weeks (39 hours a aweek)

Recruitment Manager, £45K

Warehouse picker/packer
I work Saturday and Sunday 6am-6pm
So get shift allowance on top of my hourly rate.
Works out to be 15k per annum before deductions

60k FT academic, feelings like peanuts with an MA and PhD. I should have done something else but it was much better paid when I started my PhD 15 years ago.

My hairdresser earns c.£90,000 p.a. - about the same as her GP DH.

Senior in-house lawyer for an international company. £80k plus bonus. I work remotely.

TA in a primary. Minimum wage, maximum enjoyment. Struggling nowadays though with prices going up.

I work in e-commerce for an agency, I earn £35k plus bonus. Manage advertising activity for household brands on various websites.

Well, a lot of them are there through connections and privilege. A girl I went to uni with is on 100K for being the 'marketing executive' for a designer bag company. Literally all she does is send a few emails and meet people for coffee to talk about the product.

In terms of 'normal people', I work with quite a few women earning £70K-100K in software development. Quite a few from working class backgrounds with no connections or privilege.

Surely everyone knows PhDs are rarely a good financial investment?

I own my own business and earn 7 figures a year.

But I am the fantasist, liar, Walter Mitty type right? Which is what I usually get called when I tell my story.

Designer/maker of bespoke furniture. Income is variable but mostly pitiful. Enough to get by on but i don't care because I love it.

@PhotoDad
Head of Department in an independent school, 58k. I find these threads interesting as otherwise I'd have no idea!
Mind me asking what part of the country and if it's a large department? I'm also a HoD in an independent school and always interested in salaries at other schools as it's rarely advertised! I'm on £62k BTW (top of payscale so won't go any higher).

I don't think you're a fantasist! I would love to know what the business is (even a rough idea), how long it took to build it up, and how much capital you had to invest in it to get it going? I love hearing success stories.

£70k, charity sector, love my job. Really varied and interesting.

IT service sales.
This year probably £80+
I've earned over £100k for a number of years.
Out-earned DH for 20 years and he couldn't care less.
Live in the southeast.

I'm a front end Web developer and I earn £30k. I'm not really sure where to place my experience level because I'm self taught with no relevant qualifications and although I was working for a few years before being employed it was part time as a freelancer.

Sure! It's in the North, and a tiny department. How about you?
