Ok I’ll play. I’m 47, NHS IT 70k

47, Politics, was £164,080 for a few days.

Oh bugger, was that information "outing" 🤔

@allabitmadtbf can you retrain in IT/ coding? Can you start with some few free resources online to see if it interests you? Python is a good language to start with and is relatively easy.

30 years old. 247 a month. Full time carer to my severely autistic, non verbal 4 year old daughter.

Almost certainly saving the state a good deal of money by doing so. You're welcome, btw, OP.

What a fantastic attitude you have. 😊

Haven’t read the full thread but I really don’t understand the issue on OP. Everyone, and women especially, has a better bargaining position with comparison and context. IRL I completely understand the awkwardness around disclosing salaries, but on an anonymous thread? It can only help! Knowledge is power, you should (want to) know your worth

I think you need a reality check.

I get it- salaries are a tricky subject, but I see the OPs sentiment/ intention here.
I find this thread interesting. Women are infamously underpaid in the workplace, and surely open discussion and sharing of information strengthens us to fight this.
There are always going to be people paid more or less than yourself.

Also, how can it be showing off on an anonymous thread, showing off to who?!

No thanks as anyone like me (58 and earning a poor full time wage) just feels even shitter about it than normal.

As an opener favoured by disingenuous slimy politicians, you lost me at 'Let's'.

Let's not.

@Twinstudy @Greytea but it could be average in London. If you compare cost of housing, it is relatively much higher in London compared to north and other parts of UK. So just UK average salary mean nothing in this context.

31, £48,000, writer. Feel pretty broke though. Mortgage is enormous.

49, £160k + bonus, building in house tech for Financial Services

63, 150k, IT

46 - 100k - public sector manager

31, stay at home mum, £0.
I am a mumsnetters nightmare 😁

@viques 🤣🤣 brilliant.

I would like to be able to say what I earn etc but it is very high and I don't want to be accused of bragging. I have so much I need help with in terms of my job and the choices I need to make but they involve the finances and I would need to give some detail but in my rather fragile state I don't want to deal with the inevitable backlash accusations of lies bragging etc. my marriage hangs in the balance, our home and financial security rests almost entirely on me and I am alone in the confusion. Posting here and getting meaningful advice would be amazing. But I won't

Why do you sound so bitter? Lol

32, £34k, non-academic (and fairly niche) role in an FE college.

I see the OP's intention as well. It's clearly not to talk about how women are underpaid in the workplace though. There are some very interesting posts on here from other women discussing/highlighting that, which the OP hasn't bothered to engage or continue to discuss these views with.

49, 145k, education,
side job, 1k a night as high class escort
