How is it OP's fault that you're on the salary you're on.
You chose the career, not OP.
My husband is a nurse, pay similar to yours but gets satisfaction from his job having switched from a better paying IT job.

51 - 50 Billion- Space Exploration/Cars

31 £35.5k marketing for professional services firm. Feel shit now. Loads less than everyone else my age

@ZellyFitzgerald I am really sorry if this thread made you feel bad! I respect and admire everyone that works at NHS and all I can say is a big Thank You! I am really sorry if this thread didn’t make you feel valued… It was honestly not my purpose, I was just curious of other people salaries as it’s a topic rarely discussed amongst women.

@fjäl I think you either need therapy or holidays! Please don’t be aggressive with people that you don’t know. Find something else to let off steam.

Just what I was thinking - which fookin charity?!!

35, 75k plus bonus, financial services (not London). Hate every single second of it.

1 child, nearly 2.

I'm 64 and work part time. I earn well below average, BUT, we are mortgage free, have solar panels that we bought so long ago that our FIT pays for most of our energy usage, no childcare required as DD has now left university, we don't owe any money to anyone.

My work life balance is perfect. I love my job, get on really well with my workmates (note workmates, not colleagues), am still happliy married and live a pretty stress free life.

I don't care that I don't have a 6 figure salary because I don't think it would buy what I have.

Don't be disingenuous. These threads are always put up under the guise of curiosity so people can boast.

And yes, I did choose my career, and thank god I did, especially after the last couple of years.

43 - c125k (depends on bonus) - media
(London) 1 child

PLEASE remember one thing. Not everything you read on the internet is true, and MUCH of what's posted on forums like this is embellished, exaggerated, and sugar coated. Approx 80% of the claims on this type of thread are bullpoo, as are the salaries. Don't feel undervalued and inadequate, coz you're definitely NOT.

This is very interesting! One of my workstreams is like this, they send the job with a price eg £1.50 per line, £2 per line etc, and say ‘is that OK’. I’ve always said yes, and wondered if anyone says actually no, I’d like £2.50 per line! I bet the male freelancers do 😆

40s
2 kids
50k
HR...yup another one

Although hoping to find a better paying job soon

knew there would be one who told us what her husband earns...

Good ol' mumsnet. Never disappoints.

@HikingforScenery but he was on £185k he is, I assume, paid that much to make sure everyone in his department is doing their job! He should have been aware of this case and surely, if needs be visited the property himself! If that wasn't his role, then what is he paid a hell of a lot of money for! Sorry, but this story really upset me and pissed me off! Then I listened to a bunch of arseholes phone up LBC and blame it all on the poor father! (Sorry, so off topic)

31 - 52k - NHS doctor

🙄

@Oopsiedaisyy

I'm on 50K
Hoping to find a better paid job soon.

ONLY on mumsnet. 🙄

Sure why not? Isn't the purpose to see real wages in different roles?

PurpleButterflyWings

Thank you, I appreciate that.

@runlittlemonster ask for more! The worst they can say is no! I work in publishing. I also freelance (as my job pays so badly)! I just accept the fee given too! But recently I've had a lot of freelancers pushing back on fees, so I'm thinking of doing the same!

60, single mum since 1983

Nhs podiatrist

Ready to die now from "doing it all".

So depressing. I'm 41 and in the past year have gone from 21k to 31k (public sector) via two very competitive promotions and a lot of hard work. I'm still really proud of myself but this does make me feel a bit shit.

40 - SAHP - £0

Pre kids it was £27,000

37 - £72k - academia, newly promoted Professor.

2 smalls.
