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.

That not quite true. When I started a senior academic could easily afford a three bed house in a very nice part of London. But then we used to get inflationary pay increases etc.

Logistics planner for white goods in the East of England.
7 years within current company, 5 years were on minimum wage, just managed to claw myself up to £23k but i won't be able to progress any further in my current company, so will be looking elsewhere soon.
I've heard other companies pay much better for the same role.

Work very very part time now- around £150 a day, maybe 5 days a month. Used to be FT around 90k. Personal assistant to my DH

Senior Lecturer £52k

@Nothappyatwork I'm going on maternity leave at the end of sept so it's not really a good time for me to look to move unfortunately ☹️

This makes me so cross!
Thank you for all that you do.

Product Owner in IT (NHS)

65k. Not bad considering I left education at 18 and I only have IT qualifications I have accrued along the way.

DH is pretty much as SAHP so we don’t have a huge amount to play with. Once he goes back to work full time we’ll be very comfortable

Not in the UK, but $115k as a Director of Fundraising in a big non-profit. I'd probably be making about 50-60k if I were doing a similar job in London.

Mumsnet generally thinks I should do my job for free, or that it shouldn't exist at all 🙄.

It is interesting to read what people earn,as in RL it’s rarely discussed when one earns well

@pixie5121 Im always happy to tell my story because I am the prime example of how anyone can make it. I was a broke single parent warming as a cleaner at one point!! I left school early and don’t have a degree.

Basically, I have my own learning program which I teach to in house staff so they become experts in this particular area. I can’t give more detail than that. Its like teaching first aid so people become in house first aiders. It’s not that specific area but that’s the best example of my business model.

I started my business with an idea and a few hundred euro for a basic website and branding. That’s it. As I grew, I invested back into the company.

Nowt at the minute. Am about to go onto my MA for a career change into the creative/publishing/media industry.

Was on £26k as a teacher at maximum salary. I could be earning loads more but a crippling fear of failure has consumed my work life. I am doing an MA PT and applying for work experience to boost my confidence.

@Loics what is your specific role in education may I ask?

Nursery nurse, level three qualified, 18 years experience, £10 per hour.

But that's the same with every industry and is more to do with house prices rising much faster than salaries. Plenty of people with very average jobs bought in nice parts of London 15-20 years ago.

That's amazing! Well done you. I know others too who have made great money with education-type businesses...it seems like something that can be easily scaled. I imagine you'll have created a video course or something like that can be charged for again and again without having to put in the hours every time?

I think having a good head for business and understanding of market needs is way more important than any degree you could get, tbh.

£45k plus bonuses & lots of travel perks. I can’t say what I do because there’s only very few people that do it in the U.K. & we all know know each other, but work for different companies. It is highly specialised & you need good skills, but there’s no relevant degree, just niche experience.

Everyone thinks that about non-profit roles. They fail to grasp that people doing them are highly skilled and could be making much more in the private sector. The salaries are peanuts compared to the value a good finance or fundraising director, who could bring in millions per year.

I think you should stop reading threads like these because people will always want to know - hence why they keep asking and you will continue to be annoyed - you can't stop people posting (thankfully) but you can stop reading!

Small business (14 employees) office manager: £22k

Just to echo the previous poster who said it's interesting which threads attract which posters - I was going to reply to a "how are people going to afford this" thread by saying we have never expanded our outgoings to match payrises so we'll just save less but I'd get absolutely ripped into for being insensitive.

Anyway - £24k pro rata in admin. I work 21 hours a week and it suits me fine. I used to earn the same as Assistant Merchandiser (buyer) at a footwear company.

What language?

Director for Health and Social care provider
£70k
plus healthcare bonus etc

OP has now disappeared. Now that you have 7 pages or so containing the jobs and salaries of complete strangers from all walks of life, what's the plan?

£1872 per year as a childminder for one child part time. But he's the only one I have now and I'm about to retire. In my heyday with a full house of children for 8-10 hrs a day I earned about 16k

Registered vet nurse.

Qualified 20yrs, and work 40hr a week including nights/weekends/bank holidays, and I'm yet to hit a £26k wage 🤔
